Karen and I had this morning to get out on Dickson Trout Pond. The lake was glass and practically deserted at 8 am. We had a plan to see if we could catch some larger tiger trout. I did land one that was 15 inches in length and lost a sizeable one as did Karen. They are around. There definitely are some larger rainbows too! We did see a pod of suckers trying to spawn along the shore. That was cool to see.
We did hook them on chironomids today. There was a light hatch! But like two days ago, a Tokaryk 2.0 was our best fly. The chironomids that caught fish included an olive and copper size 14 and a Rusty Nail size 12 and 14.
I never understand where the time goes. 5 hours on the water goes by in what seems to be a blink of an eye! If I had to give advice. Look for drop offs, we had an excellent 90 minutes on a drop off right in the middle of the lake. Also go early when the water is a bit cooler and perhaps less wind. Lastly some inconsiderate fisherman cleaned their trout at the boat launch. That is not cool. If there is no cleaning station, take'em home!
