Skain11 ... it appears the Browns & Rainbows don't have the "Black Spot" disease you mentioned, it only affects the Brookies. The parasites have not disappeared, you could clearly see them on the water surface moving around, looked like someone sprinkled black pepper in the hole. We spoke to a few others who were out, they had caught a few small Bow's. I seen 2 fish all day, one was a Brookie that showed some interest and came back 3 times but wouldn't commit, not sure if anyone caught any Brookies, it was a tough day. As Scott said we drilled 40+ holes, moved countless times to different spots, tried between 4 -15 fow, perhaps they were hiding deeper, who knows, that's fishin.

Fortunately that big Brown made our day and Scott has a new P/B trout to be proud of & I was lucky to get it out & on the ice for him & capture the moment.

Cheers
