Those fish were caught at Scofield... Notice the fins aren’t beat up or thin belly’s even after being cleaned. Rainbows this size were the normal before the DWR implemented the 8 fish trout limit to “fill the coolers” that was the precursor to the chub explosion. Now here we are, being “patient” 10 plus years later.... Here is another picture of a ice fishing trip we took in 2006. These large Rainbows were extremely common and not even the big boys in the reservoir. I think it has been so long since fishing has been like that people have forgotten and are happy to see anything.
