[cool][#0000ff]Hey Zonker, good to hear from you. Loved the report and the pics. We have those"goldens" in Utah too. Never heard anyone refer to them as "Chernobyl" trout though. Until I saw the pics I was expecting some humpbacked mutants with three heads or something.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]While living in California I used to pack back in to the Sierras and fish for the REAL golden trout. They are beautiful. No mistaking them for the genetically wierd rainbows.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Looks like the food chain is healthy in that lake. The fish "got back"...and front too. It is interesting that they preferred your fast strip technique. But then again, sometimes if the fish are in a neutral or negative mode, you have to do something radical to stimulate a "reaction" bite.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It should be time for some winter steelhead to show up soon. Any reports yet? And, how was the salmon run this fall?[/#0000ff]
