Good idea Coon! That lake would be fished to nothing in a heart beat! We started fishing it when I was about 12 years old, biggest I have gotten is 20" and my cousin got one about 24"!!!!! Most go between 12" and 16". I try and fish it once a year just for old time sakes. When we first started the lake was actually deeper and larger, it is slowly shrinking. But that deep hole with the big log in it always produces as does the big log you walk across to get to the island.

Very colorful fish! As a young boy in Pennsylvania, the majority of trout we caught were Brookies! My favorite! Great photos.

Sounds like an almost perfect day Coon!

Dont tell anyone where it is at even some friends. I used to fish a lake up here in Whatcom county that was small like that but loaded with 18 to 24" cutthroat. Then I hiked a couple of my friends in there. One of them squeaked to the old local tackle shop, and bam!!!  No more trout, and lots of people and TRASH. 

Thats my sad story.

Its amazing how many miles some people will hike to kill a nice trout...
