The big lake in Nevada!

Postby Devinpreston » December 30th, 2014, 11:30 pm

Me and my Dad fished the P on Saturday and Monday this week and I finally got the fish I have been looking for!! We fished with Doug Ouellette Saturday from the ladders for two shakers that went about 4.5 lbs and 24in. He is a great guide and if you ever want to learn from the best give him a call. On Monday we fished from the tubes and i got the one pictured and my Dad got another shaker at about 4 lbs. It fought really hard on my 6 wt from the tube, I didn't have a scale with me on Monday so I didnt weigh it but I think it was in the 12 to 14 range.

Good grief! I'll bet getting pulled around by that beast produced a wake a small power boater would be proud of! Very nice!
