Hiked down to hidden lake after class to try and catch the king of the lake, a pretty big cutthroat that iv'e seen that hangs out near the creek. When I got down to the shore I noticed that his usual spot is no longer there as it is filled up with sand/silt from the creek. I started casting a silver castmaster and on about my 5th cast I reeled in a 7-8" cutt. He somehow managed to get the hook kind of in his eye but swam away fine. Very next cast in the same spot I got another cutt, a bit bigger at close to 11".

After that it went dead for a while so I switched up to some spinners with no luck. after about an hour I switched back to the silver castmaster, old faithful, and after a few casts I got another 10" cutt. --All fish Released--

My phone camera doesn't do justice as to how beautiful these fish are. Its a great quiet little lake to do some C and R and would probably be great for fly fishing too. Although, it is a dog park and sometimes dogs will jump in the lake and scare the fish.

I put a "Secret Lake" report in on Hidden lake about 5 days ago, LOL. I don't suppose you found my Smartphone at the shore's edge where you were casting? KInd of interesting to see your report. Nobody reports on this lake, really. You see how the lake is prob. 40% down from previous times I've been there. You should get out in a float tube. The far side of the lake, in front of that house is where it is the deepest, I'd say currently the deep area is only about 6-7' deep, and it was pretty steady action on the fish in that area. All other areas are sitting at about 3' of depth.

The first fish I caught was definitely a cutthroat, didn't really look closely at the other two and just assumed they were also cutts because I didn't think their are rainbows in this lake.

Funny you say that because I think I read your secret lake report and it reminded me of hidden lake so I thought id go down. Didn't see a smartphone lol. Last time I went was probably june and the lake was a lot deeper. I was catching them right in the center of the lake only a few feet down.
