Title: Whats the fishing like up at Deer and trout lake
Post by: kid fisherman on April 04, 2011, 07:44:48 AM

I am planning to go up to deer and trout lake this weekend and just wanted to know what the conditions are like and if the lakes are fishing good now.

Thanks

kid fisherman!

Usually they both fish well this time of the year. They will still be on the colder side though so slow retrieves or stationary presentations tend to work best. I haven't been up there lately, but I find the fish tend to be on the smaller size this time of the year so use light sensitive rods and have yourself a blast.

I got up to Deer lake on thursday and did well fishing with dragons until around 10am when them bite went off. Gorgeous day out there though and the road in is in fairly good condition.

From what I remember deer lake is easy and has a launch on it. Trout lake is just off the road and accesed by a a trail I think. As for the road up it's totally accessible by car.

When "no powered boats" is mentioned, it also includes electric motor.

You can expect good action for small fish, on a very pretty little lake :)  Nothing big, but I've had success there with the usual flies: small leeches, hare's ear, mayfly nymphs, damselfly nymphs, etc.

if your looking for numbers of fish and not size then trout lake is the way to go

if you fish in trout lake, try the dockside shore line, and where the stream feeds into the lake.....its a guarantee to get a fish on every cast....the rest of the lake isn't too bad either.  Lots of little cutties, and rainbows.  Handle them with care, maybe they will grow up one day.
