Anglers have been hooking into some giant browns over the last week, with reports of an 8 pounder and multiple fish over 6 lbs. Trollers are having success running Thomas Buoyants and Tasmanian Devils in 50–60 feet. Casters are throwing bright-colored crankbaits and Rapalas around shallower water in the early hours.

Twin Lakes has been fishing well, helped by multiple trout plants over the past few weeks. A confirmed double-digit brown was landed recently on a scatter rap, with plenty of action on fish in the 2 to 4-pound range. Several 6-pounders were also reported. Shore anglers are doing best with bait, with an occasional lure hookup, while boaters are finding steady action trolling Rapalas, Kastmasters, and needlefish. With cold weather and a chance of snow in the forecast, conditions are setting up nicely for more big browns to come out and feed.
