This trip wasn't really planned around fishing the lake...we honestly
didn't know what we'd find. I'm not very experienced in getting those big
lake brookies yet, but next time i'll have ample streamers, damselflies,
and chironomids, and hopefully a float tube. It would be a pleasant place
to float away a day...unless of course forty happens by, in which case i
guess the lake turns into a weedbed. g

Methinks that you just exposed to the light of day a 40 favorite secret
spot- no! no! stay away don't go there!there ain't no fish there!- yada
yada yada.


That's the card he'll play. Experience suggests that this is exactly why he
never went there.

Seven or eight? :)

description of it was accurate- similar and back east and why fish in a

Interesting. For me, the Ruby is a "different" type of water. It's one
of my favorites when visiting the area. Small fertile water that
produces big fish.

Jeff - sorry to interrupt (it's really pretty funny), but since you have

Fawn Weedbed is a *great* touron destination.




NO place that's a 14 mile round trip hike is a "GREAT touron destination."


This has been quite an entertaining thread.

And from what I understand Willi, you can catch fish anywhere anytime.
We did catch fish but near the head of the creek. It gets pretty small
further down AND we saw a couple of guys with worms and what looked to
be spinning gear meant for off shore fishing. They appeared to be ready
to yank some fish clear out of the water on the first hit. I think it
gets a lot of pressure especially since you can harvest fish there.

Yeah, nice fertile Brown trout water, with some nice smart fish hanging just
out of sight (at least after they see you coming a mile away). A very
technical stream...love it...

Maybe some wanderers, lost and confused, smoked them?
