9/23 Pineview and Lost Creek

[mule_skinner45]

Launched in the pre-dawn dark at Pineview. No pre-pay envelopes and no one at the pay station. Trolled for Muskies until it got light. Many fish on the Sonar, but no bites or takers. When it got light, I noticed that the water was full of algae, and like pea soup. Decided to go elsewhere. Loaded up and went up to Lost Creek. Using leadcore @ 3-4 colors and downrigger @ 25- 30' speed varying from 1.9 - 3 mph, caught Cutthroats all sizes. I lost one at the boat that would have probably been my biggest trout ever, I'm thinking 6# ish. Good day but launching was a little tough due to the mud at the bottom of the ramp. It was ok, though, using hip boots. I wish they would get some rainbows in Lost Creek. I hate throwing everything back. Black triple teasers worked along with some large hand painted metal lures.
