1/28/2013 10:07:00 AMDo you loose much gear, in the area of Rock that your fishing? Or have the boat contact many subsurface obstacles? Your description of the area fished, sounds ominous, like a gauntlet of death defying obstacles to deal with.
Kinda reminds me of a scene in the movie "on Golden pond". Where Peter Fonda lets his young nephew drive the boat for the first time. They are in the search for "Walter" the largest Rainbow in the lake. To get to the fishing "spot". Fonda stands look out at the bow of the boat. Barking out directions at the nephew. On which direction to steer the boat, away from the barely, submerged boulders. Fonda startles the kid, kid knee jerks the throttle, hits a boulder, launching the old man forward, out of the boat. Fonda has blood on his forehead, barely floating in the frigid water. Kid has to pull Grandpa into the boat, and with no help, work his way out of the mine field to reach medical assistance for Gramp's. Grandma places both "Boys" on boat restriction. But at some point during Gramp's at home recovery. The "Boys" sneak out of the cabin, jump into the boat. kid steers through the boulder gauntlet. With Gramp's, gauze patch taped to his forehead. Once again, at the bow on boulder watch. This time they catch "Walter".

1/28/2013 12:54:00 PMNo we don't loose much gear, we are using mono line with top water plugs and wedding rings. I only have my bow mount trolling motor down. If I do hang up I almost always get it back. Going real slow and keep an eagle eye out.

1/28/2013 5:38:00 PMHi Tom - Love Rock. Beautiful fish. Have you ever used the SideWinder planer boards to get the gear in the mine field and leave the boat in the clear? Works great! We also release any 5# and above Browns to protect the brood stock part of the natural fishery. The 2-3# are the best eaters anyway. By the way that's a really nice trout; did you have any trouble with the 10-12" trout that were planted in October @ 3 to a pound? They are really pesky!

2/14/2017 1:36:00 AMYou know if you release those claimed 2lb Browns... you will be able to catch larger ones?? And also telling anyone you can about your fishing hole reduces the chances of catching said fish.. steelhead are far better dinner fare then browns are. Just my opinion..
