Got to Frater at 6 p.m. Never fished it before so I trolled with my float tube all around the whole lake to start out. Most of the lake is filled with weeds making it difficult to fish wet flies or nymphs.
One end was promising and clear of weeds (at the surface anyway). I fished a Prince beadhead and a green Wolly bugger and had some good hits. Cutthroats have soft mouths and I failed to hook up properly, so no fish landed that night! Surface action started and ended within 1/2 hour to 45 mins. I tried to entice a couple with various patterns (may fly imitations and a Royal coachman) but no takers. Got too dark to operate so I went away promising to return and land a couple next time!
