poz 35 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 So was up 811 today had some time and decided to try a stocked rainbow lake (Amanda) for a couple of hours. Only caught one and definitely not a bow. Anyone have an explanation? ( I was in the correct lake) Don’t get me wrong happy with the fish but curious Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eyelander 164 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 That's surprising, that lake never had brook trout. Wonder if someone else brought some in illegally, or accidentally in a minnow bucket. 1 Quote Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oyo 127 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 Double check the maps, a couple of the lakes there are stocked with brook trout, might be a lake mix up or if they are connected by creeks then some swam over. Tarrison Lake has Sp-lake and is before Amanda Lake, maybe you hit that one or they got over somehow. How did you find the access to Amanda, I drove up 811 to Gillard last summer, but the turn off to those stocked lakes "badger, Amanda, tarrison" looked grown in and rough.

poz 35 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 Hey Oyo. Ya definitely was Amanda. Been in to the Tarrisons before. The access is good off of Kenah road. I wondered if a brookie somehow got mixed in with the bows during stocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
