After shaking off a hangover, hit the water about noon. Brought the wife and boy and the dog, full boat for my little 12 footer! trolled around for just a couple hours with no luck til right at the end on our way in linked up with a 17" Brown trout, my first one ever! (Although I don't get credit for it apparently since it bit on my son's rod, even though I reeled it in for him haha) He bit on a orange and gold wedding ring trolling fairly close to shore actually. A couple of other guys were near us and they had been catching them with a worm under a bobber. I wonder if they aren't spawning right now since he was kind of beat up like he'd been fighting.

Are you sure that it wasn't a cutthroat trout? I know they stocked the lake fairly recently with some nice cutties and I'm not sure if that lake contains browns. But in any case, congrats on the nice trout!

They did stock the lake with cutthroat recently, but our last outing on Offutt netted a Brown among the Cutts. I couldn't find out when they last stocked Browns, but they are there.

The lake does contain browns. I think they did stock browns in the last few months...talked to one of the WDFW gents at the Sportsman Show in Puyallup and he stated they Offutt with browns.

No doubt it was a Brown. I've pulled in plenty of cutthroats and this wasn't one of them. I wish I knew how to get a photo from my new phone on to here. Pretty fish.
