Do you have a semi secret place, one very few people know about, where you can always catch fish? A Honey Hole?
I do! It's an old fire lake that was once part of a series of fire lakes. The ODFW stopped stocking this YEARS ago, and the BLM blew up the dams, but one little pond survived and is now LOADED with native Rainbow that have been breeding there for years. Long enough to be fully naturalized "native" fish.
This place looks like a swamp from the road, and if you weren't looking for it, you would probably drive right passed it. It is full of, and surrounded by brush, and bank fishing is nearly impossible. It is only about 150 yards wide and maybe 400 yards long.
At the right time of day, with the right lures, I can catch a limit of 12-13 inch native Rainbow in just a few hours. "A limit" of course does not include the many 9-10 inchers I always release.
