My fishing partner and I fished the north end of the big lake once again this morning. After having experienced what I would call good fishing last week for nice size Cutthroat, we were anxious to give it another try again this week with the hope of doing a repeat performance. We immediately headed for the area off McAleer Creek where we had our best luck last week. Rather than being redundant, all factors that led to our fishing success last week were applied again today. We found the fishing today to be a bit slower than last week, however, one fish that we hooked and brought aboard our boat more than made up for the smaller number of fish that we encountered. It measured 23 1/2 inches. It had beautiful colors. It put up a heck of a fight. Very fortunately, that fish was hooked solidly with the double hook set up that comes with the Ace Hi Fly Junior. The other 2 Cutthroat that we took home were 14 and 18 inches. In 4 hours of fishing time, we hooked and lost a couple of other nice size fish. As was the case last week, once we gutted our fish, their bellies were found stuffed with partially digested small size fish. Although it was a bit cool this morning, It was a great day to be out on the lake.
