My Alaskan fishing buddies and I stayed at one of their cabins in Lincoln and then drove up to Silver Lake and Bear River Reservoir to do some trout fishing these lat few days. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery but fishing was a bust. Found out from another angler that live minnows as bait under a bobber was what worked vs. the worms/marshmallow or power bait or casting lures. Oh well, it was a great time with friends and that really was my main goal, so goal achieved for me!
Use to be great German Brown fishing both those lakes until fish n game screwed that up by introducing slime rockets aka lake trout aka mackinaw aka char. They wiped out the tui chub Browns lost their main forage. FYI big fine using live minnows in those lakes.
