Awesome report and photos. At least the weird weather is keeping the summer crowds down. I'm hoping to get up there in the fall. Thanks for the tackle notes. The Hookup baits work great for me in the harbors so now I'm gonna have to get some little ones for trout!

I wish I could have made the trip up there and fished with you. Beautiful pics with some great catches. I've had luck with the HUBs in the Sierras but it's not as consistent as you are having. I'll have to pick your brain the next time I see you.

I also used the lead core line setup and the down rigger for some mid day trolling at 25' to 35'. The Tasmanian devil produced 4 beautiful Browns one day with two of em at 16"......the split back Rapalla or Thomas Boyant didn't even get hit for me this trip...

The 1/32 Black Gold with the crawdad sauce was the go-to for me for most of the fish...although I used the yellow and white a few times on the dead stick...we ended up the trip using the 1/16 Chub color for the last few days of the trip and it really paid off... the last fish of the trip was this 5.8 pound beauty...probably a "holdover" with it's perfect fins and tail...
Just curious how you cooked it up....my old stomping grounds just received 3500lbs wright's from thatcher Idaho.

Cookin'...

Hey Mitchel...
"Just curious how you cooked it up"...
My favorite way to cook the big ones is to scale the fish then steak it up and marinade in Traders Island Soyaki...then just put em on the grill and BBQ em.
It's a little more work but de-boning the trout is a really different way to serve em (there are a few demo videos on youtube)...then saute with an almond topping... or egg and cornmeal coat em then fry in pnut oil
Hope that helps...

Tootall...sorry that wasn't me you talked to at LJ...maybe my doppelg?nger...

I definitely know the corn 🌽 meal way. I like the small one's that way. Skin taste good crispy. Marinating the big one on the grill sounds excellent, don't think I ever had soyaki .I'll have to stop in trader Joe's next time I go by.
