Fished Munn Lake twice this week due to spring break.
Monday was the best weather day I've had recenty, with sunny skies and little wind. Fished 8:30-2pm or so. Fishing was great, catching was average. I ended the day with three, all 15-18".
Caught the first rainbow on a copper chironomid close in, the picked up a long but relatively skinny cutthroat by the brush in the mouth of the channel. The cutt took a black chironomid so slowly I didn't notice until I started to retrieve. He also barely put up a fight coming in. Another boat was having some luck trolling, so I used an orange spider soft hackle thing and trolled down and back. Had a couple strikes and caught a nice rainbow which gave the best fight of the day.

Took my brother-in-law out in my boat to flyfish for the first time Sunday 4-15. He caught the first rainbow trolling and then nothing for a bit. I caught a bluegill by accident. We trolled more and I caught a fatter cutthroat down on the far end. Trolling back I landed another rainbow on a black wooly bugger. Total of three fish again 15-18"
Pictures are from sunday, slight rain near the end of the day.

Thanks for the report....I was planning on going there Sunday, but stayed closer to home due to the weather. Those Bluegills are not an accident....should really get going here soon with the Crappie too.
