I have been there twice this year and had luck on each trip. I tossed kastmasters from the bank and caught a couple brookies. I hate getting skunked especially during hike-in trips. I hope this doesn't stop ya from trying another run sometime it is really great up there.
Marion Lake. Awesome water. I was up there a few years back when the tree pollen was lying on the surface. No fish would jump through that stuff. However, there is a coldwater spring that comes up out in the lake, and the upwelling of the water would create a little clear area. I was in a two-man raft and I tossed a lure into the cleared area and kawham! Fish on! The trout there will congregate near that cleared spot and the competion for bugs was amazing.
I had great luck catching brookies from the bank with a sliding sinker and a whole large worm with a marshmellow attached to the barb so as to float the worm up off the bottom. And if you can get into Marion in the spring, try this: hike into Lake Ann which is right before Marion when Ann is still half covered with ice. Toss a whole worm onto the ice and drag it until it falls off the ice into the water. Brookies will come out of hiding to feast! YEAH!!!
