Title: Lahontans cut's

Went out today with a buddy and caught a few.

Not the best fighters but fun to catch. Some were still in spawning colors

Is that Lenore?  I have been thinking about taking PathfinderJR over there to try out his new float tube.  The fishing is usually crap by June, but I figured the sh***y weather would have carried things over a bit into this month... :dunno:

Yes, Lenore, North of Soap Lake ("Bubble Crick" to the locals).  Another good spot to check out is Nunally Lake, the last of the chain of lakes that dump into the Columbia River.  Donaldson Rainbows, as I recall, and with all the aquatic insect life in the lakes, they get huge.  When it gets hot, early morning and late afternoon/evening is best.  Haven't been there in years,  but it was fun back then.  About a quarter mile walk in, but worth it.

I agree Nunally is another great lake,  Try fishing a floating line with a nine foot leader with a big black woolly booger on the end at night.  Its a great time, you can hear drags screaming from across the lake.

My best luck at Nunally was with an Olive Nymph.  Seemed to best mimic the nymphs they fed on.

sorry to say guys but the pics are not from Lenore. they are from a different lake with Lahontan's in it. but Lenore is a great lake for them!

I was curious about that, looked like a lake I really like, but all those desert lakes tend to look pretty similar to me..
Once upon a time we used to get in line early on the morning of the 1st and wait for the guy to come unlock the gate.......

Hmmm... Looked like Lenore, with the lava cliffs in the background.  But then, I haven't been back there in years, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.

As I said, those lakes tend to look similar, but the pictures look (to me) like in the first one he is just coming out of the boat launch cove, then a couple at the far end, then ending in the SE corner of the lake I am thinking of...  :dunno:
Mystery lake ?, guess we could call it "lake G" ?

I know exactly where that lake is, its the lake ya cant fish from a float tube in,  because snakes think your an island.

Are you sure it's not Trout Lake?  Or Blue Lake? 

...I mean, there's only one of those in Washington....right...? :dunno: :chuckle:
