Yep, I was there in November of 2008, absolutely amazing place! I think there may be a few operations on the lake now, and some of them may have changed hands. The one I was at, and what my research showed to be the best on the lake, was the one right at the river mouth. I was there during their spring, so all the trout were stacked up waiting for their turn to spawn - supposedly so many fish spawn that they can't all head up the river at once. When fishing the lake in front of the lodge, the average size was probably 10 lbs, while on the river they averaged 8 or 9. I was getting 30-70 fish per day! The one pool on the river a little ways up from the camp is amazing, at one point there were five of us fishing and we all had fish on. Another time I saw a 10-15 darker green circle in the pool that I assumed was deeper water, but when I looked 30 seconds later it had moved, it was a school of large trout. That day I actually changed up flies to try and find something in my box they wouldn't bite. Need I say more?
You mention going in February, I believe that is a slower time compared to spring or fall, but I don't know what numbers would be like then, probably still pretty good and you'd have the advantage of fish not having so much of their energy focused on spawning so probably harder fighting fish (I only saw my backing a couple times).
