Hi, Windriver--I have no doubt that the big fish of last year are still in there, and have been hearing some reports that occasionally bank fishermen get into the big ones, and that they are hitting real soft, but fighting like crazy once hooked. Many are running in the 4 lb. range. Perhaps the warmer water prevents them from actively pursuing trolled gear, maybe they have plenty of food available, as there were several hatches going on when we were there. Who knows? I have been actively fishing for 50 years, and still can't figure them out!! Perhaps fall fishing from the bank might be good, if one can keep the little perch off. Mike
