well we did it[
]-hit Hebgen on Saturday. We arrived around 7:30am. Fish hit right off so we thought we were in for a busy day[cool]!-not quite. It was defintaley a quality day-not quantity. Only 4 fish under 16", we kept 8 between two of us (limit is 5). The cutbow hybrids were fat and happy but the rainbows were long and skinny. I kept 2 bows that were 18 and 19" but fairly thin. We had 4 hybrids that were all fat. We missed at least 10 and landed another 8-9. Pink was the only color producing consistant-tipped with nightcrawler. Fished 2-3 cranks off the bottom. Dead stick for 20 min then drop to the bottom and reel in the 2-3 cranks. This technique seemed to produce a bite most of the time. What a beautiful canyon! We only had one other group of locals on the lake with us-we fished by the dam. Water depth was between 16-18ft. Desk top computer is giving me fits so can't post the pics right now-I'll try again in the morning. So-again if your looking for no crowds and quality over quantity-Hebgen might be the place!
