in response to coryandtrevor, i had the fish beside my float tube but never saw more then the back, due to a good shake and 5x tippet. having never caught a splacke to my knowledge i can't answer for sure, but i can say the fish i saw before i hooked "the big one that got away" looked longer and thinner then your average rainbow. i have fished that lake alot and never had the same experience.

Hmmmmmm.....Stump will be worth another crack in the spring.  As for the Splake, the MOE pulled a 12lb'er out of there in the 70's and another member in an old thread from 2004 caught one in Alice.  They live for 10 years in some cases and do well in cold water lakes and ponds so maybe after 3 generations later there is a few in there.

Cheers
