Comments = Caught 1 18" lake trout on shiner, 3 rainbows (2 on shiner, 1 on lure) and one brown on shiner. All fish between 13"-18". One of the rainbows was a Kamloops 17" and the 18" was the lake trout...both VERY FAT!!!! All action was concentrated between 9-10am and 1-2pm. TONS and TONS of trout rising sipping flies VERY close to the shoreline. WHY DIDNT I HAVE MY FLYROD WITH ME!!!!!!!! I was so pissed I didnt bring it. Everytime I do though, the wind makes it useless. Saw 2 guys catching many trout under 15" with their flyrods using midge flies. Hope no one wants to kill me, but I did keep the Kamloops. It was the only one of legal size I caught and I really wanted to have a nice trout dinner that night. Usually I always CATCH and Release. This time was the exception because this KAMLOOPS was packed with meat and it fed my wife and I very easily. I will return the tag though and thank the RVTA for their continuous work in improving the reservoir. Thanks! guys.
