Went fishing for the elusive Goose Lake and Warner Lake Redbands in early July. Stream conditions were just superb with the majority of runoff having subsided. And with still a bit of snow on the ground, and springs running quite nicely, good fishing will continue for the remainder of the summer. We did quite well, scoring well on both Goose & Warner Redbands. In addition to catching the "dinks" we did get quite a few "trophy" Goose Lake Redbands up to 15", and browns up to 16". I am some what reluctant to name specific streams on the internet due to the fragile nature of these fisheries, but I am willing to answer questions via PM to help you in your quest for these rare fishies, and quite frankly these fishies need lots of friends to protect their dwindling habitat (except for my "trophy" redband spot, that would cost you way too many beers to get that one out of me!). :twisted:
