Tiger Trout

We took the boat up four times and each time we caught at least one fish in the 24" class. Most were Cutts 22"-26".

The big Tiger I caught from the shore.

I completely agree with your post. There are 5 lakes/ponds within 20 minutes of Scofield that can be Rainbow heaven. You want to catch something and eat it... fine... Gooseberry is right over the pass.

Why on earth does everything have to be a 16-19" Rainbow factory???

As for popularity, the most fishermen I've seen per square foot of lake in the past two years was just as ice was forming on Scofield a few months ago.

That was just after I'd caught my Tiger and another pair of fishermen pulled a similar sized Brown and Tiger out of the lake.

In a way these discussions are a two-edged sword. I'd love to keep the trophy fishery a bit of a secret.

But I agree unless the public really speaks out to keep Scofield a trophy lake, the poisoning is likely to be recommended.

So better the word get out I guess.
