FISHING HOT SPOT

 

Big Lake is a fishing hot spot. A 9-pound cutthroat trout was caught there over the weekend. First light and last light are the best times, but trout action is also kicking into high gear on those afternoons when the monsoon thunderstorms roll into the area (don’t be caught out on the lake during a thunderstorm). Despite lots of weeds at nearby Crescent Lake, anglers bottom fishing and those using wet flies on the surface were having a hay day catching brookies just after first light.
