[red][size 3]Welcome to ya. I'll just add my 2cents along with your post. I was up there Monday and Tuesday. We trolled for trout some and caught browns in the north end and rainbows south of Hailstone. Needlefish seemed to be the preferance. We trolled the Rock Cliff arm once and had one nice fighting fish on a Rapala but lost it when it went cross court across another line. Nothing of any size in the boat. We hit the shore south of Hailstone and picked up several nice small mouth. My first time goofing around with senkos, probably could have boated more if I knew what I was doing. I decided next time I would rig up a whole package at home instead of messing with them on the water. Just to many nice looking holes to spend that time on the water. Did just as well with crawdad cranks. [/size][/red]
[red][size 3]After that we tried Rockport for an afternoon for my first time, all the 12"-14" rainbows you could want. Ten minutes out from the boat ramp we had a double to start with. The catching was slow around the dam however. We marked some huge fish around the cliffs and little bay right off the side of the dam. Stopped and casted around for a while and caught a few small smallmouth. Coupla' great dayz on the water. [/size][/red]
