Guy, if you have dry fly fever head to Domelands! My brother and I caught 165 golden hybrids in four hours on Friday, all on dries! Even a few chunky guys in the double digits.
I've pulled some out of other west side streams this week too, but on nymphs. The season is finally starting to arrive!

Just got back from a lake that has the potential to rival Laurel for my favorite member of the trout family. This was a recon mission so only shore fishing but next time the float tube is coming along. For sheer number and size of fish this is a gem of a lake. Nothing bigger than 14" but nothing smaller than 10" so far. There's got to be some slobs in the deep sections. Third photo is the inlet stream. You guys who know what your looking at should count the number in that 8'x4' section. I would tell you how many I landed but you wouldn't believe me. I was there and I barely believe it. I'm stoked.

I was going to go up Friday after work but with the heat decided to stick around here and head up to higher elevation. Kirmans gotta be fishing well but I haven't seen any reports or talked to anyone who's gone this year. Trust me though, if it's hot you want to stay away from Kirman. It'll still be there in September. lol

BG is correct on the foy tag. You simply call the number and report. Number, date, length, location, keep it release. Caught two of those but didn't think to get the tag number off the first. Sure was fun.

Scole,
What kind of trout is that red one? Love the vibrant colors. Green river cut? CO cut?
Great fish!

Any east side beta anyone is willing to share? I get over there to climb a few times a year, but have never fished. Most of the western slope rivers are raging so I'm jonesing for some trout fishing.
Headed over for the weekend through the fourth for climbing, fishing, and camping. Any advise is appreciated :)

The eastside rivers and creeks are raging too. I was up on Bishop Creek right below Sabrina a couple weeks ago and while the creek is high it was definitely fishable. You could probably catch fish in Rock Creek too. Water is starting to come down a little. And the lakes always fish well if you have skills.

The East Walker River below Bridgeport Reservoir hit 1530 CFS the other day, which I believe is a new record max flow!

Yeah Bob
They're letting Bridgeport Reservoir rip at full flow. There are flood warnings out for pretty much everywhere down stream.
Everything on the East Side is raging and there's still quite a bit of snow holding up high. If your coming over this way to fish, stick to the lakes. I'm gonna head up to South Lake with the tube in a bit. I'll post up a later with how it is.

South Lake is game on. I landed 20 in less then an hour. Not my best day there but it was about a 50% cast to hookup ratio. The lakes FINALLY almost full again. Talked to a guy that works there and he says it's coming up well over a foot a day. That means it'll hit the overflow in about 2 weeks.
It's gonna be a busy sh#t show this weekend but if you head up there go to the west side of the lake. Walk over the dam and walk about halfway down the lake. I promise you, other than the boats, you'll have it to yourself.

Sounds like South Lake is the place to be.
I've also heard Crowley Lake is starting to turn on for fly fishing.

The Twin Lakes Reservoirs are getting brimmed so they are releasing water towards Bridgeport. With the Bridgeport Reservoir nearly full, the East Walker is getting hammered with flows they haven't seen in over 15 years. It is amazing to see.
