Big Lake

Fished Big Lake this morning for 5 hours.  Been busy playing catchup since I got back so this is the first AZ fishing I’ve done in a couple weeks.  The cutt’s are in spawning and it seems that there are more rainbows this year than last….and they are bigger and badder.  The cutt’s I got this am still had eggs so not sure how long it will last but it’s a great time to get yourself a nice AZ cutthroat.  There doesn’t seem to be quite as many as last year but they average even bigger….17″-19″s with some 20″ + fish as well.

Got them stripping simi’s and small pt’s.  Hung a few under a bobber too but didn’t do that very long…probably would have caught more doing that but….NO PATIENCE GRASSHOPPA.

The week before I left we had a day to remember….about 5-6 of us hit it good.  The midges were coming off big time and the fish were on them hard.  Not sure how many we landed but at least 30-50 each.  Very few midges today and the fishing was way slower.

Sorry….no pics…by myself.
