With slacking action on the green river coho I decided to switch gear for some trout. Saw report (Stansjoy) about green lake yielding nice catch of trout and LMB, I decided to give it a try.

I arrived at the lake around noon, a bit late than I like. No one was around ( I guess I pick the worst time to fish). Saw a school of juvenile LMB by the pier as I walked on to it. I started with worm for about 20 minutes but no takers. Not one hit (I even walked back to where the LMB were and dangled the worm at their faces)! Now a 2nd angler joined me at the pier. I switched over to throwing spoons when I saw schools of trout swim by me. They like my spoons :-). They are good jumpers and were a lot of fun on light tackle. Lost first 4 that I hooked. They jumped and leaped and spit the hook. Between me and the other guy we probably lost 15 trout that way. Finally I was able to land 4. I released 2 that were below 10'' and kept 2 12 inchers. Lost a few more before I called it a day at 4:15.

I just read on the WDOFW website that they have been and will continue to release all of the 400,000 + "steelhead" that they now cannot put into the rivers into a selection of lakes. You can see which lakes and how many (LOTS!) each lake is getting in the stocking report section on the WDOFW website. Green Lake is getting a bunch, so the good fishing will probably be at the surface for a week after the plants. They say that most of the fish being stocked are 11" to 13", with a few larger, but sounds like you found a few smaller ones.

No wonder. There are lots of schools running around. You can even see them chasing the lure right up to the pier.
