Set out for bass on the shore, by the boat launch, throwing a trout pattern husky jerk which had caught me bass here before. After fan casting the area multiple times, I frustratingly changed my crankbait to a jointed, perch pattern rapala. First cast, a fish hit good but I missed the set. Next cast, fish on, after slow-rolling the lure for about 2 seconds. It didn't fight to hard, but I could tell it wasn't a dink. As it got closer to the shore I realized it wasn't a bass, but a 9 inch rainbow. Sweet! I've yet to catch trout on this lake. I turned him loose, didn't figure I could get much meat from him. Next cast, BAM! Better, bigger fish. Yet still a trout. 11.5 inches was the leagnth of this one. Bite was on for about 45 minutes, caught 6, released 2. Biggest was almost 12 inches, smallest was 10. good day.

I might as well jump in here now and tell you in the most polite way that I can : Wilderness doesn't open till the last Saturday in April... It closes October 31st till then, check your regs homeboy... It's one of my favorites, and has plenty of big bass and tons of trout since it was just planted. Hopefully nobody feels the need to pick on you... See ya opening day for the circus!

Rob G, I just checked and you're right. It didn't even occur to me that it might not be legally open. While I was there, I saw two other men fishing and just figured it was safe to fish. I take the fault. Also, thanks for being polite about and not freaking out. - Taylor

I've been thinking about doing the derby. What's it like? Starts at midnight?
