We hit Rock Lake again very early in the morning. I have learned from Danny @River Chrome Guide Service to be on the water as the sun is comming up before you get direct sunlight on your spot, because the big ones get spooked and your done. We trolled J-9 trout colored and Xrd-9 same colored Rapalas about 150' to 200' back, sometimes I used my homeade clipweights vs. downrigger @10' down trolling a little slower than at Lake Roosevelt (1.4-1.7mph). I have been fishing this lake hard for the past 4 years and get my biggest fish in what they call the mind field. Most people stay out of this area but for the past 2 years I have been spending my time learning where the lava spears are simply because this is where the Brown Trout hide out, I am finnaly getting some payoff, limits of Brown trout within 1.5 hours. This last trip showed me smaller ones but this experiment will only lead to the huge browns know to be in this lake. The big ones are skiddish and feed at night in the mind field. We still got a few and remember the camera plays tricks all we 2lbs or above. tight lines
