The news release about Getting Outside on Black Friday with special plants of trout in many lakes in the state got anglers excited, particularly about Roses Lake in Chelan County. A friend of mine looked up the planting report and immediately contacted me. He had visions of bringing home some whopper rainbow. I am not certain, but I think he and others may have read the report and thought that the fish that were planted in Roses Lake in late October weighed 2.5 pound each. Actually, the fish were 2.5 per pound, which is a typical “catchable” that most lakes are planted with each season. I did see that 450 jumbos were to be included in the stocking. Anyway, I charged up the Minn Kota and hooked up the Bob Feil Boats and Motors Smoker Craft Phantom, and my friend Jim and brother in law Tom and I gave Roses Lake at try. We trolled Wooly Bugger type flies on our fly rods, and I put one rod out with a perch pattern Rapala, and our rods were bouncing constantly. We caught and released at least 20, 10- to 12-inch rainbow and a few tiger trout.
