Another lake falls victim to the WDFW policy of: "Never Leave Well Enough Alone"

[Peyton00]

My drive up brookie lake is south of Seattle.

Maybe because you have to leave pavement and drive on a dirt road, not to many people fish it.

I should have mentioned it has tiger trout too.

Surprised they haven't tried stocking Palomino Trout instead of being fixated on rainbows...

Have only seen palominos at the Bellefonte hatchery 50 years ago

Man, that first brookie looks like a real warrior!

I'm glad to hear that you guys caught some of the elusive brookies. They do, however, seem a little small and underfed compared to years past, did you get that impression when you caught them?

 

[Roper]

I'm pretty sure I've seen that guy over your right shoulder in prior reports @Roper . Does he ever leave that tavern?

Only when they close for the night…

 

[Islander]

Yup!

 

[Billy]

The good news is that I'll never have to make that long dusty miserable drive up there again. The bad news is that I'll never get to enjoy the beauty and spirit of those brookies in their fall colors again. Damn!

Lost Lake has been lost.

False. Someone is gunna have to see if the Brookies everyone else caught grow up next year
