Rainbow in Bullfrog

[KYKevin]

All tiger trout

No
There were a few Splake, but the Tigers are much better, so it will be all Tigers this year

I want to give a big thank you out to all that have posted on this, this was my first ever tiger trout I had two online and heart lake which is deep in Colorado and believe me this was the new one on me and I'm sure everybody else. I wish I could have got the biologist of lake Powell interested in this post. This is one for the history books.

If you want to go catch 40 in a day in Colorado let me know. They aren’t very big but numerous in one spot I know of

Went down on Thursday night spent night in upper parking lot . Worked on the boat , meet up with Rush and Buddy and went out on the lake at about 11. Was trolled up on Slurp by the Dome Rock . It turned out to be the 6" Stripers . Came back at about 5:00 and started trolling up bigger fish . Just decided to to fish the Dome the next day , and me and my fishing buddy Jeb did ok . Small cranks flicker shad and minnows #5 . Noticed on Sunday the bigger Stripers did not have the biggest filet , think there would have been snakes any other year .They where not in big schools but more like singles .
The big storm blew in on Saturday night I had to strap up my Tent to my cot. Also noticed the Algea all over and mainly in the bay we stayed at I thought it was soap and pollution but it was all over the place .
Got up early on Monday and went straight for the Dome , We caught some nice Walleye , meet up with Rush ,played Stick with the dogs and started trolling to the camp to pick up .
Then my buddy Jeb caught a 14" Rainbow Trout. I thought it was a Tiger Trout, but we sent pictures out @KYKevin and @last wild human . They told us it was a rainbow , strange colors

During our early May trip this year, we were fishing the San Juan, we had a good size (18”ish) rainbow cruise the surface next to our boat. It was great to see. In the 70’s, we used to catch them fairly often.
