When Rollie and I came to the top of the hill to drive down to the launch at Nicholson Beach on Omak Lake, we were surprised to see several vehicles parked above the beach. There were anglers spread out at intervals, and we wondered what was going on. When we reached the parking area, we saw that some of the license plates were from out of state, as far away as Nevada. We watched one of the anglers on the beach land a fish. He was casting a chironomid under a strike indicator and the fish looked to be 2 or 3 pounds. My guess was that a fly fishing magazine had published an article on the terrific fishing for Lahontan cutthroat on the lake, and that had attracted this group. I have heard that there are anglers that make annual trips to Omak Lake in the spring. When we stopped in town for lunch we noticed an angler with fishing gear in the back of his truck. He told us he had been to Omak Lake and caught a few fish that morning. He was from Idaho. I guess the word is out, especially with the fly fishing crowd.
