Fall rainbow trout fishing continues to be good at Nahwatzel. We caught our limit of 10 in a couple hours and took home 6 to filet before the wind and rain hit hard. NWFR member Denny recommended Old Goat lures and they worked well as did Wigglefin flies tipped with power eggs. We trolled at speeds of 1.5 to 1.7 mph with 1/8 to 1/4 oz weight set back 130 to 140 ft. Water level is up a bit and no algae! All meat looked nice and pink other than 1 male with spawning colors that was a bit pale and soft comparatively. Saw 3 other boats out. Fun fighting, jumping fish in the 14-17 in range for us.

We used the orange and orange/pink combo. You were sold out of the perch pattern when I ordered last week. 2.8 in. Nice lures!

Hey Paul: Glad you and Mellissa had such a good day out there. Hope to maybe see you on Friday. We were going to go on Thursday, but that got changed. Take care. Glad the Old Goat worked well for you. They're amazing.

Hey Denny. Unfortunately I am working a bunch this week so we won't be able to go out until next week. Good luck out there!
