Nice report and pics! Good to see TROUT coming out of Starvation.
Question, since you're armed with a fly rod... have you ever fished chironomids? They hatch every day on lakes from ice out until ice up. Between sunrise and ~10:30 (or whenever you saw them on the water surface or in the air), trout were cruising and gulping them by the hundreds. It's fast fishing sometimes (but different fishing), and incredibly reliable.

And here's an introduction from the man himself (Brian CHan): http://www.sfotf.ca/blog/chironomid-tact...brian-chan
Tight lines!
