The nine of us had a great time at Olallie Lake for the three days of 7/13, 14, and 15. The roads were in better shape than anticipated, the cabins and campgrounds in great shape (we used both), the weather continuously improved from ok to outstanding, with the fishing only hanging in there at ok. Truth to be told, we were up there for a bachelor's party, with our fishing a secondary activity. We did pretty good considering how little time each of us had a pole out over the water. Our only serious fishing, if you can even call it that, was on Thursday the 14th, for dinner that evening. We cooked eight trout almandine that night, each right around 11" to 12", after a few throw-backs. Black rooster-tails with silver spinners, worms, and flies were successful. We saw a couple guys on a boat who had a big one on board and had caught dozens more small ones fishing with power-bait not far from the boat docks. The mosquitos were not as bad as expected, the bear grass was in bloom, and the little resort primed and ready for a robust summer of visitors. Thanks to all for the tips.
