My guess would be the Brookies from that lake would probably be pretty good table fare .. a couple of the larger ones wouldn't be too bad I think. I don't eat much trout, I keep one or two a year to BBQ, but IMHO Brookies are the best tasting "trout" - especially when they are from higher...

That lake is on my bucket list - thanks for sharing. Sounds like a Autumn or Fall trip would be better to get a shot at the larger trout.

I just recently had to order the pontoons only from Outcast directly for my Fish Cat/Fish Panther. Spendy for the the pair - $850, but maybe you can call them to see if they have a single around. Popular item though - they didn't have anything in stock directly and I had to wait for a...

Nice report as always. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see the lake back open again and great results Paul.

Very good report. Thanks for sharing.

Duh - should of thought of that - but a picture of the box and the label would be nice.

Can you provide pictures? And were are you located and are you willing to ship?

@Divad - Sorry I posted my inquiry basically at the sametime you posted your response to @Aleforme. Thanks for the information - very helpful. I will probably give it a shot next year :). Peach

Great trip - I have this on my bucket list - but I think most people do as well. Would love to go give it a try someday. Don't have a motor boat but I do have a pontoon boat and willing to row a bit to get to the good locations. What is the best access point for someone that is willing to...

Love your reports. You have some good Stillwater options over there. Peach

I went with Middle Forks Adventure July 2020 - just opened up right after COVID. Went at the beggining of July - perfect time as weather warms up but river levels still high enough to allow you a full trip. Fun trip - beutiful country - so glad we went. I went with my adult daughter and...

For my Stillwater use I typically have two rods strung up and available. One is the old SA Mastery Series Clear Intermediate Stillwater line that Denny used to promote. I don't think this line is no longer available, but I like it so much that I have bought a couple of backups and spares and...

Thanks for the info Paul, very helpful. There goes my weekend plans - I had small hopes to get up there to wet a line but No Bueno :(. Seems like they are being overly cautious and I too wonder why they don't utilize the gate just past the Coldwater turn off? Frustrating. May hit the...

Hopefully they will be able to reopen Coldwater once the area settles down a bit. On the news they mentioned that going up to Johnston Ridge Observatory will most likely not happen this year. My hope is that after a few weeks they reconsider and have the closure up closer to the slide and...

Cool story Paul - thanks for sharing. That trout is a monster for that lake! Congrats. Looks like a Cutthroat? Peach

A Laker is on my species bucket list as well, I have never caught one on a fly or any other method. I have a plan to go after one later this summer - I think in the same Alpine Lake as this. This report provides some timely and awesome motivation. Thanks for sharing. Peach

I am not trying to be a smart ass, as I applaud the effort and love to see good causes like this to salvage a special breed of trout, I would probably like to volunteer if I lived closer, but wouldn't the trout just come back? Or is the thought that they have completed their "spawn" and moving...

It has been many years since I have fished that lake. Last time I visited it, the forest land was decimated with clear cutting, but the lake is located on a timber company land so I guess it is to be expected. Many, many years ago when ODFW just started their "Trophy Trout" program the fish...

Relocate where? Peach
