This amazing 'catch and release' year-around lake is barely 30 miles from downtown Seattle.
I had a very nice day trolling 'Dick Nites' and 'Triple Teasers'.
Put the 'portabote' in at 9 and out by Noon.
"Boated" 11 healthy Rainbows with a few long distance releases as well. The largest was my first fish at 15", but even the 12"ers were sporting.
Caught 3 in the first 20 minutes! I stayed mostly out in the middle with 1 to 2 colors leadcore down. There were three other pontoon float-tube flyfishers.
I imagine in a couple years, once all fishers understand this is now a strictly C & R lake, the fish will grow in size and fight.
I love the natural setting at Rattlesnake with no houses or cabins.
No internal combustion motors. Selective gear, single hook, barbless. CPR ..........catch/photo/release.
