There aren't too many drainages with golden trout. 4 or 5 over twenty puts you in an elite crowd.

The purpose of my brother's trip was one golden over twenty. They hit gold figurative and literally. They have renamed the lake "Eldorado" after the city of gold.

You're all welcome. I appreciate the experiences shared by others so I try to contribute when I can. Even when it's through my brother and friend.

To all the madness members, feel free to do the same. It makes for a great site anda fun way to spend time infront of the screen.

I think you're correct Larry. Something about the fish eating insects that changes the ecology of the lake. Just another environmentalist twist to thumb their noses at sportsmen.
