Desert Lake Report

• Date: Saturday March 8, 2008
• Where: Lenice
• Temps: Upper 50’s water temps 50
• Patterns: Various Chronomids, Buggers etc.

Fished Lenice and what a beautiful day. Intermittent gusts throughout the day but we weren’t blown off the lake just added some movement to the chronomids. Tried various streamers chrono’s etc. but couldn’t get the fish dialed in. Also varied the depths but the fish weren’t keen on one specific pattern. Between Allen and I a total of 8 fish with Allen catching a gagger! Biggest Tiger Trout I’ve ever seen taping out over 22” and a fat bastard at that! When he stuck this fish all I saw was a brownish/golden plank crashing the surface as it stripped line off his reel. At first I thought it was a brown but it wasn’t… Too bad for Allen we didn’t have a camera. This fish was glamour shot worthy… Damn son! Anyway, highlight of my day was my first Tiger trout. Didn’t see any callibaetis or damsel hatches just sporadic midge hatches. Another week or 2 it’s on!
