Anyone want to join me (weather pending) for the opener April 22 at Laurence lake out of Parkdale? Main menu is Bull trout (C&R) and rainbows. Beautiful lake with epic views.

It was on the ODFW Recreation report:

I didn't know there were Kokes up in Lost Lake on hood.  I have only been there once but it seemed like mostly bank anglers and if you started the troll game or went out farther in the lake it was easy to do well. 

Hmmm well hell. Thanks guys I looked 2 weeks ago and they still had it as open as of the 22nd. O well new plan. Walleye!

Got to thinking about the Bull trout in Laurence and wondering how ODFW is going to handle the draw down.  As they are protected in this watershed, are they going to remove them to other lakes, let them die, or are the workers going to take them home for dinner?  The topo show that it is really deep near the dam and this will probably the area left with water. But isn't this where they will be working?  I wonder how many years to recover?  Lots of questions...

Lost would be a good stand in.  Similar view.  Rainbows, Kokes and big Browns.

There are still kokanee in there? Everyone I ever talk to said they have been non existent for years.
