[quote catchnfish]The state record is 33 lb 10 oz and came from the gorge. It wouldn't surprise me to have a 38+ lb cruising around.[/quote]
Conditions in the 70s were a lot different than they are now. The days of the huge Gorge brown trout are probably over. Ask the biologists who work this lake, the number of browns just is not what it used to be they are pretty rare these days.
That doesn't mean that one couldn't get huge in there, but chances are slim in my opinion that you'll see a 30lb brown out of the Gorge anytime soon.
