It was really dead when we were there two weeks ago. We got one fish about 8lbs and I lost a bigger one that probably would have went 10+.

The *censored*s that refuse to follow the rules have really put a damper on that fishery. Fuggers either release fish after fish hooked on bait or just flat out fill there coolers with fish. The indian wardens do a good job patrolling the area but can't get them all.

We chased a couple Russians up and down the river after watching them keep about a dozen fish one day last year. The cell service down there sucks and we never could get a warden on the line.

Very nice fish!  Picked him on the troll?  Thats going to be some good BBQ right there.  Those footballs are so fat its that or smoking them I have found.

  My experience up there is kind of old like 4 or 5 years ago when I lived in that neck of the woods.  But this time of year I found the best two ways when its cold is drifting a fly at the edge of drops and or running a small shrimp under a slip bobber.

Still remember fishing those buggers in Jan and Feb with a bobber, having to blow on the eyes to melt the ice to real in.  Was easier with the fly rod kept the line moving enough to not freeze up.
