Some buddies and i went out to rock lake today. We left cheney at 9am and arrived shortly thereafter to the south end (the bridge and boat launch). Will and i had chest high waders on which was really helpful. We began with some green and red wedding ring silver bladed spinners, got a few bites then it all stopped. Took a break talked to some people who pointed us toward the north waters from the bridge and/or underneath it. we took there advise. Within 20 minutes i caught this small brook trout on a small green w/ black spots and salmon eggs spinner. I was told by a gentlman to grabb one of his triple bladed gold single hook spinners from his box, i did so. I also put two salmon eggs on this went underneath the bridge and to the center and cast down stream a few times. thats when this nice 2lb rainbow hit and hit hard. i only fought it for about 5 or 6 min. but thats cause i was more than excited. I've been catchless since October. Anyway goodluck everyone.

maybe it was bleeding, maybe it was for breakfast. whatever the reason it's hardly worth commenting on. Nice day on the water jadietzel!

I too am interested in the little one, and not for any of the below reasons. jadietzel, how sure are you that the small one was/is a Brook Trout? Are you sure it was not a small Brown Trout? The lake and system are full of Browns, but I have never caught or even heard of a Brook Trout in the system. Do you have a picture more in focus that shows the little one? PS, if that is a Brook Trout, I'd keep it and all I could legally get my hands on - best eating Char there is IMHO.
