The state just releases a bunch of 1lb rainbows into the lake. I was using chartreuse power eggs tipped with worm. Lots of limits. Be careful and read the regs you can only keep 2 over 14". The big ones made for a lot of fun with my ultra light and 4lb mono. I've been fishing all week and have been getting my limits of healthy pink rainbows. As a side not there were a couple environmentalist checking the ground water near where I was fishing. I struck up a conversation with them and they opened a well right next to the lake for me and it was full of gasoline, I could smell it from 5 ft away. They said this was the mild one, I guess from what they told me the gas station had a major fuel leak 10 or 15 years ago and the gas is still seeping into the ground water, then eventually the lake. They told me they would never eat a fish from this lake. I've been eating them for years and think I'm ok.

Ya, that's sad. Fortunately, If it was 10-15 years ago, that would mean that the gas is seeping into the lake at a relatively slow rate. If it were going much faster, then the effects on the lake's ecosystem would be much more severe. Those look like some fairly healthy trout, though I've personally never been to Black Lake.

Use that lighter on the tail fin and see if you can "smoke" that fish.
