In the late 80's I caught a 2.lb rainbow under the Shell Knob bridge in Feburary on a Shad Rap. We both were very supprised to meet there!

I think we may be surprised about just how many trout call T-Rock home.

I think that's right. I imagine they go deep into areas around springs in the summer, or travel back into Crane or RR.

I also caught a bow in the late 80's in the Shell Knob area (Lost Hill) while crappie fishing with minnows. Strange how all of these reports were in the late 80's. Maybe there were some put in TR around the Knob at that time? If rainbows from RR or Beaver tailwater, for that matter, are making it into Crane then isn't there a possibility that the 'pure' McClouds really aren't pure strain?
