This was the scene at the boat ramp at Deep Lake, just above Park Lake. People got lots of trout here, both from boats and from the shore.

My wife's sister Karen Heim joined us at Buffalo Lake. Here she is with one of the carryover rainbow that she caught. Buffalo Lake is very good right now for rainbow from 12 to 16 inches, with carryovers to 20 inches and the occasional triploid of 5 pounds.

My grin is almost as big as this triploid rainbow that I caught at Buffalo Lake. The fish hit an Apex lure trolled behind a small dodger. I was using one of my kokanee rods and it was quite a battle! We kept ten trout the first afternoon. They averaged 16 inches.

Eric Granstrom put the video camera down long enough to land this smallmouth bass at Banks Lake. He was casting a crank bait in the shallows of the Devils Punchbowl. Then we caught some rainbow for the triple!
