I think I got lucky in finding those fish. I saw lots and lots of smaller trout in some of the pools... and even hooked a few of them but they were so small... These bigger fish were almost all definetly stocked trout as they had the slightly deformed, rounded tails so common in stocked trout. The one 12 incher I got looked by far the healthiest of the bunch and I even considered that it could have been a native... I put that one back a little more carefully then the rest. There is something special about catching native fish. I was really hoping to find some smallies up there but didn't get even one... What is your technique to catch them up there? You mentioned rapalas... any other tips / locations up there? Also, those lil green sunfish are pretty fun to catch and fight like a bulldog... I enjoy catching the larger ones when you can find them.
