New State Record for Cutthroat Trout Confirmed
NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has confirmed a new state record for a cutthroat trout caught on Ft. Patrick Henry Reservoir, Boone tailwater in East Tennessee. Ten-year-old Palmer M. Tipton landed the record fish on July 22 which weighed 4 pounds, 12 ounces. The young angler used a nightcrawler as bait.
The new record breaks the previous mark which stood for less than a year. Daniel Scalf caught a 2 pounds, 8 ounces cutthroat last October on the South Fork Holston River.
