Pathfinder is huge when full. 26,000 acres when full. I love the canyon part of the lake that leads to the inlet. When you find fish they are usually on the shady side of the canyon, usually hanging around rock slides.
You never know what may hit your Shad Rap? Could be a big bow, brown, cutt or walleye?
Or it could be a Ohrid? An ohrid is an Yugaslavian Brown trout, which is native to lake Ohrid. In the 70s the Wyoming DOW traded the Republic of Yugaslavia some Bighorns for these fish. Pathfinder s the only lake in North America where they exist. They make up a small part of the overall fish population, but if you find them, they run in schools. They are eating machines and lake spawners. They are also very powerful!
They have big heads and large silver dollar sized red spots on their sides. They are both beutiful and very unique looking.
My biggset trout ever was a big German Brown hen filled with eggs I caught there just in front of the inlet. It spooled my leadcore rig to the spool on one run (10 colors and 75 yards of dacron backing). I left my camara back at the bunkhouse, so I had to let it go without a picture[
