I haven't been up there this year and can't hike in now, but last summer if was pretty good.

agreed, last season was sweet, its always been pretty descent...average catch is 9-13 inches, the fish are all beautiful as hell

Ohhhh yeah. Amazing fish! Released one last summer that came on a panther Martin that I'd estimate was around the two pound mark. Beautiful hard fighting fish. I miss that place. Will for sure gave to get up there next summer again

Nice! Just missed you. I was there the start of that week. Sunday to Wednesday. Zug Bug is a great fly. Next time try a Gold Rib Hares Ear. They seem to imitate a damsel fly nymph. Also, we finished our week up at East Lake and we were told, by the guy at the resort, that we did better on flies than the bait and lure guys and guess what fly worked best? Yup! Zug Bug!

How did gold lake fish for you guys? were you fishing out of a float tube or a pontoon boat?

 

[OnTheFly]

pontoons. I was picking them up trolling or sitting stationary while using a retreive.
