Deep just off boat launch. My showdown indicated 40+ feet. No problem for trout lasting a few seasons before they are caught and eaten. Fished this lake the last 6 years and was able to catch 3 to 5 trout above 3-5 LBs.
Now one in 30 will be in this range. More pressure than ever and people keeping big guys and not releasing them for another fisherman to catch. First time I have seen over 50 fisherman on the lake last year.
Should have a slot limit below 12" so you could catch the odd one above 3lbs.
Another mistake by our fisheries management team
Make a few more trout lakes trophy lakes with the possession limit 2 under 12".
Nothing like reeling in a 5lb trout and releasing it for another fisherman to enjoy.
