Fished 11 Mile at Stoll Mtn. from just after 5:00 AM until about 9:00 AM on January 2nd. Didn't mark any fish until 6:30. Between 6:30 and 7:45 landed 2 chunky 17" rainbows and one just under 16". Missed 1 other fish and broke off 2. Then all went dead for the next 1:45. The wind blew steadily the whole time, but when it really picked up a little after 9:00 I decided to bag it.
Boy are those fish fat and strong. One of the bigger ones must have had 100+ big olive scuds in its stomach. Well worth the drive down.
Effective jigs were shrimpos, ratsos and tiny marabous w/ waxworms in 16' fow.
