I'll be there as well on Saturday, I'll be on the lookout for your craft... I will be in a Cream colored Smokercraft, give me a shout and we can chat about the lakes special wonders. I will have an OFF sticker for you if you are interested... Best of luck and tight lines..

Where can I buy one of those stickers?!!
I don't sell them, I give them away when I meet a fellow OFFers on the water,let me know when you will be in my neck of the woods and we can meet up and tell some lies and have a laugh. These are the original OFF stickers... Very unique design indeed, here is a view of them.

Well we made it up to Cougar at sunrise, what a beautiful site.... Launched the magic carpet and both motors fired right up... We headed straight for my old haunt and we were the first anglers there, tossed out a "Gold Spoon", couldn't have been 2 min and slam the rod takes a slam.... What a great feeling to boat a fish right off the bat, from there it was like being in a Trout farm. Haven't had a day like that in very long time, Lucky was in for a great day.. He broke two personal best before noon, watching someone get their first slam casting a "gold Spoon" was priceless. Not only did he catch the largest fish of his life but casting a lure to boot, the look on his face was something I will take to the grave. We caught fish trolling, casting lures, bobber and bottom fishing. Looked for diggindan but never saw him, I did run into my old mentor.. the guy that taught me more about catching Trout than I could have learned on my own in two lifetimes, him and his best friend along with his Son. Perfect day on the water, 65 degrees with a light breeze - we toured the lake and I shown Lucky a few of my favorite places and got to put the new craft through its paces, what a dream machine. I honestly lost track on how many fish we boated, all were Native Rainbows and in perfect health. This lake has come back from the brink and soared to levels of the early 70's. I am not saying that everyone that makes a trip to Cougar will have a day like ours but the fish are there and if you use patients you will be rewarded.
One thing I will share on a open forum is this..... Blue River res was just stocked with over 6000 Rainbows and the boat ramps are in.....
