Very cool! I would like to make one more trip but with hunting coming up I don't know. We got rained on to but the fog wasn't too bad. What were you using up there?
I am strictly a dry fly man. Not a snob at all, but have no interest in wet flies, nymphs, lures, or bait. If I can't catch a trout on a dry fly on the surface, I will quit fishing. (I like to see the fish take my fly.)
This year I took a ten-kara rod with me. Basically, it is the same as a fly rod, without a reel or a fly line. The leader/tippet combination is basically the same length as the rod (3.5m), and used just like a traditional fly rod. My partner used a Rooster Tail, with little luck.
The fish in that lake are so hungry, I think anything would work. A spinning rod with a weighted fly or a lure, cast long and retrieved slowly from the depths would be perfect. Bend down the barbs on your hooks, as there are so many fish you will get tired of releasing them.
