TroutRinger Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Fished this morning from 8am to 1pm. We rented from Lilley's which was a great experience. Perfect trout fishing weather. It was overcast and in the low 60s all morning. Caught a break from the weather which we thought was supposed to be rain all day. Three of us caught about 30 bows with the biggest three at 18, 20, and 21 inches. All the big ones (and about 90% of the fish) were on white 1/8 or 3/32 jigs. We also caught fish on sculpin jigs, rainbow jerk bait, and power eggs. We went up to the shallows above Fall Creek but most fish were caught by Trout Hollow. Didn't have much luck upstream from there. Overall it was a great day. It's been about 4 years since I have been trout fishing, and now I'm wondering why. Yes we did keep the fish which I VERY RARELY do, but I have 20 family members in town for my wedding this weekend so we will make good use of them.

We kept the first couple stockers but when we realized how good the fishing was we started keeping only bigger fish. "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy."
