Lethal...Those are GORGEOUS trout....Is that lake natural repro or do they stock them...??.. Obviously they have been spawning...

What flies are you using..??... DETAILS, Man...!!........ I'm drooling.......

Great Pic's! Thanks for sharing

Well in 2002 there actually wasnt even a lake there but they decided to build a dam on the creek so it became a reservoir and they only stocked it once in 2002 with rianbow trout and when they stocked it they decided to make it only one fish a day over 20 inches thats why they are able to get so big but they havent stocked the lake since and it is doin just fine but i kinda wish that they would turn it into a trophy lake so that you would only beable to keep one over 25inches then that place would be awesome.And im assuming they are spawning too cause the males are obviously ready to spawn and the one pic of the big female you can actually see eggs falling out of her and a couple times when we netted fish we actually got a couple minnows in there too so im sure there are still maybe a few in there from when it was stocked but i think the majority is natural fish now.

As for what flies i was using i started of with an olive and it was doin ok but i switched to having a brown catatonic leech on bottom of line and bloodworm up a bit higher then a indicator about 5 feet up and look out they were just destroying both and my buddy also tried an evil weevil and that was doin awesome as well.

Hope that helps you out Pygmy

Thanks for the info, Lethal... very interesting...I have had very little experience flyfishing lakes or still water for trout.... Although I've used bait and spinning/trolling lures for trout in lakes for years, nearly all of my fly fishing has been done in streams and rivers...

Using the leech/worm/indicator combo do you retrieve slowly or just allow it to drift..??.. I'm guessing that if you're using a strike indicator you're using a floating line.. What is your basic presentation..??..

I just let it drift i would give it a lil twitch every once in a while especially if there isnt a slight ripple on the lake but we did find we were gettin more hits with ripples on the lake with the indicator cause it gave the flies that lil bit of action and yes i was using float line with about 5 feet of leader and the indicator right where the float line met with the leader. But the fish were only about 10-20 feet out so just had to get it out there and let the flies do there thing then when that indicator disappeared well im sure you know what to do from there

nice trout
my biggest rainbow was 22" but not as fat as the ones you guys caught.
