Stopped by Tibble Fork this morning, made a few casts, caught one little brown. Didn't really see anyone else catching anything in the hour that I was there, so I drove up the mountain to Silver Lake Flat, and had the entire lake to myself, no other fisherman. The lake is fully stocked with nice sized rainbows and the fishing was great, sometimes my bobber and worm combo barely hit the water before I had another fish tugging at my line. The bite slowed at noon and I left at 12:15. I'm always amazed at the shoulder to shoulder combat fishing at Tibble Fork, and you drive 3 miles further up the mountain and have a pristine alpine lake all to yourself with better fishing...go figure.

I fished there this weekend. Had a great time. Caught fish and a sunburn.

Funny even after all these years, things haven't changed down in my old stomping grounds.

I also took your advice and took my wife up to Silver Lake Flats last evening. We fished for about an hour and a half and caught 25 between us. The fish were taking emergers (in greens and browns) in size 18 to 22 behind a bubble. We caught about half and half rainbows and brookies. Average fish was about 10" with several pushing 14" (rainbows) The fish are feeding actively at dusk. It is gorgeous up there.
