Big lake in eastern Idaho

Just finished up our trip to a large lake in eastern Idaho.




Our fleet getting ready to head out-


The fishing was a lot tougher than previous years. Our group did well considering the tough conditions (low water and clarity issues). Personally I struggled, but the rest of my group made up for my suckiness and lack of fish catching skills-




Looking forward to next year.

I participated on this trip and had a blast. Excluding steelhead, I caught my largest trout on the fly (21") and my largest brook trout on the fly (17" and pictured). The brook trout gave me the best fight of the trip and it was the last fish I caught on the trip.

I will be up there tomorrow. Will report back. Weather looks really terrific. Warm but cloudy and no wind.

The north shore provided the most action for us.

Sunny and no wind. Lots of algae in the water.
Lot of boats on the north shore. So can't wait for my boat to get here. That lake is just too big to fish from a pontoon.
Fished 3 hours and caught 2 hybrids. Only 2 hits I had but they were good fish about 3 and 4#s.
