Had an hour to fish during my work day!

It's always good to get some casting in during a work day. Catching is even better! Congrats!

brookies in lyons? sure not browns? that's wild brown and stocked 'bow water ime. don't really see brookies east of peak to peak much and that's 15 miles west of town.

Yeah they were brookies. Classic orange and white fins. They were itty bitty tho. Didn’t snap any pics they were so small. I likely have the same schedule 2 weeks from now so I will snap one next time. Washed down during the flood a few years back maybe?

I'm going to say they could not possibly have been brook trout. I'd have to see a pic of some blue spots.

I lived in Lyons on the river, I've fished that area for 25 years. The nearest brook trout in that drainage are in Peaceful Valley and Wild Basin.

I mean, unless CPW has stocked brookies in there, which I have heard nothing of and which would seem to be extremely unlikely -- they are working to establish whirling resistant strains of rainbows in there, and have been for about five years now. I'm going to get in touch with Mike Clark at South Creek Ltd. If the state put brookies in there, he'll know.

Has anyone fished Ralph Price Reservoir lately? I hiked up there some time ago. Nice hike but no fish.

So I did get too fish again in Lyons. Here’s a pic of Brookie I’m pretty sure. I guess it could be a juvenile brown with weird colors? Pretty sure it’s a brookie tho.

Definitely a Brook Trout!

Try streamers there if you have a chance, not sure if you fly fish but they are very effective.

Does not look like a splake warshed down from Buttonrock. What in the world are they doing there? I wonder if there was a private stocking or if Swigle had some brookies he needed to unload somewhere they couldn't take off.

Crazy. I fish in Lyons quite a bit. The Brookies must be a recent addition. Very recent. I wonder why there?

Troutbisquit, you sure it's not splake. Doesn't seem like they'd stock Brookies there.
