Mirror Lake Highway Tiger and Brook Trout

[Backyard Boy T.V.]

A buddy of mine told me he had never caught a tiger trout. So, I took him to mirror lake highway because pretty much every roadside lake, and many of the hike-in lakes are stocked with hundreds of tigers a month. We fished several lakes, starting at Butterfly Lake and slowly moving south fishing Pass Lake, Mirror Lake, and Crystal Lake on the way. We caught a lot of fish on a few different methods. I decided to try something new a throw a small Jerkbait. This worked very well and I ended up throwing it for the rest of the day. We caught a few on spinners as well, but they performed poorly compared to how they usually do. Worms also caught a bunch of course.

I have a video linked below to anyone who's interested.

Did you hook a grayling in your wanders? They are showing up in more places these days.

Great color on that first tiger pic. What size is that jerk bait you were throwing and what color?

We planned on targeting some grayling at Trial Lake but ran out of time. Didn't find any accidentally.

I was throwing the Rapala Husky Jerk size 5. It is 1.5 maybe 2 inches long i believe. Both white and perch patterns worked.
