hit rampart again -- had to burn some vacation. took the boat and trolled all day. the final tally between my self and a friend:
Landed 7 rainbows
Landed 5 Lake trout
Lost 2 nice lakers at the boat (in the 3 - 4 lbs range -- estimated)
1 million hits without a hook up -- damn lakers can peel a garden hackle right off the hook
kept 3 trout and 4 lakers
trout in the 14 inch range -- nice and fat
Lakers were all clones at just a hair over 17
Docks not in -- Bring you waders to stay dry while launching
We caught all of the slimers close to shore -- about 30 feet of water. all of the lakers came out of the center of the lake -- 100 --160 feet deep. Man is this a deep lake and there are alot of fish in it. the water temp is cold -- it hurt my hands to put them in the water.
We trolled worms (aka garden hackles) behind cowbells on lead core with 4 colors out -- so that equates to about 15 -20 feet deep.

Always wanted to figure the crappie and once I actually set out to do it I found hundreds! Limited out for the first time after trying for the whole month of June. Wasn't too hard once i honed in on the area where I located them. Fast forward 4 days later and today they were gone. Here is my...
The hot summer days and water levels going lower by the day and the crappies moving around after post spawn definitely made for a challenge finding them but persistence pays off!
Recently was up DEEP in the mountains fishing with my buddy...We came across a huge group of Colorado River Cutthroat Trout. We of course fished for them but we wanted to see if we could film them too. Luckily they were crowding around a small current provided by a little spring, flowing into...
