Easiest way is to search regs by downloading pdf version then using ctrl + f then using search function.
Looks like many places are already closed but a few are open, just depends where you are willing to travel to.

Like I said easiest way is to look at regs using the search feature. Many are closed but the odd one still open, I don't know that area at all nor have I ever caught a cutthroat so not sure if the areas still open are any good or not though.

Yup... Brookies over populate and make great eating without any fear of regret or apprehension.
My best feed of trout in Alberta came from brookies in Elbow Lake.
and it is open as far as I can read regs.
YUMM.
Pretty lake to fish also.

Elbow Lake is in Kananaskis near the Highwood Summit... it's full of stunted brookies. You can find it if you look on Google Maps.

I actually have heard brookies are beater eating too. The stocked ones and/or farmed fish probably aren't as good as a wild cutty but a wild one probably would be.
Makes some sense since Brookies are actually char and should have whiter firmer meat which many people prefer.

Cutthroats are delicious, gut it and put onions, butter, salt and pepper and wrap in tinfoil over hot coals. Next summer I'm going to fry up some golden trout.

Id love to see a blind taste test ive got a1 $ most would be lucky to get 50% correct. Because food source has a greater effect on taste than species.

Exactly, I believe they have a better, cleaner food source in the areas where you find cutthroat, whether that is true or not it leads me back to cutthroat tasting the best. Also I believe I could pass a taste test of the trout species(minus bull of course and I have never tried lake trout also).

why would cuttie a brookie and a bow taste differnt from the same creek ?? If there open to harvest fill you limit for sure. taste however is an opinion . Worked at fish hatchery/farm in the uk they done hunderds of taste tests less than 50% could tell farmed from wild nevermind species. Less than 5% of tasters got 75% correct.
Feed farmed fish krill for color and the % drops to like next to 5% correct .

Eat a brown from the Clearwater and then a cutthroat from bighorn, if you can't tell the difference by taste test that would be very odd.
