Dusty Lake is located in the Quincy Potholes, a short hike from the parking area just south of Burke Lake. My fourth cast with an F4 frog flatfish resulted in the loss of all my terminal gear, as the knot at the swivel unraveled. I caught the pictured 'bow on an F2 red flatfish which I released after shooting the picture. You cannot imagine how hard it is to hold the rod in one hand and take a picture with the other! A fellow fly fisherman caught and released a beautiful male about 20 inches long while I was there. He was using a tan scud size 14 or 16 and had numerous hookups.

A top notch lake with superb fish, few people and only a thirty minute walk. Doesn't get much better than that!

Did anyone happen to fish at Quincy or Burke lake? I was wondering if they were any good. I am going over this weekend and will report how they were.

This lake is the no-bait, no trebble hook, barbless single hook only lake right?
