Also, has anyone tried to raise cutthroat trout in a pond? He has some native cutthroat living in a local stream.

Unless you want to just keep the trout from fall untill late spring I thing the pond would be too warm for them in the summer, but many people have trout in the cooler months and fish them out when it gets warm.
If you could pump or supply colder water from another source then it's possible.
