[cool]Hey Telbone, We didn't catch anything that I would call of size. Mainly alot of fish from 5-6 inches up to about 11 inches, in all species except crappie which stayed under 10. We did see a few bass that would have gone at least 3lbs. but they had lockjaw. We also heard from the ranger that a couple of 4 to 5lbers. were caught last week. So there are still some larger ones being caught and available. As far as how full it was you may be able to tell from the pics that I posted. If you are familiar with the dam it was about 30' below the spillway tower in the middle of the dam. I don't mind catch and release but my wife likes to keep some good sized fish to eat when she fishes. The only reason we didn't keep any was I came back from the eastern sierras of california only two days before our trip to echo canyon and brought back some nice red meat trout from there. I will indeed drop you an e-mail here to meet and discuss various lakes. I also tie my own flies and can always use more recipes as well as share those of my own.
