Pierre Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Good luck, my colleagues and I fished it in late June 2004 and were skunked. It was my first year fly-fishing and my colleagues were using hardware. While we were there, the campgroud superintendent said that 17 boats were there opening day and 2 fish were caught between them all. p.s. bring firewood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Andersen Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Dipper, Word is that it takes upwards of 80 hours to catch one lake trout. Maybe several hundred for a brown. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Troller Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I fished this lake 15years ago or so? I fished for 2 days and caught 3 pike and 1 laker. We seen many huge browns jumping clear out of the water but no takers. I way less experienced than I am now but it was frustrating to say the least. The browns were huge though!
