Randy and I decided to take a break from Strawberry and headed to Currant Creek Reservoir. The hope was to catch some tiger trout. Unfortunately, it was false hope.
It was nice to return to a body of water that neither one of us had visited in ~15 years. Really pretty up there. I just wish that one didn't have to take the long drive around the reservoir to get to the boat launch.
Fishing was good, in the shade, early for pan-size rainbow trout. But when the sun hit the water the fish disappeared. We then tried several places and eventually found where they were just by dumb luck. I pulled up in a cove to about 20' of water with the intent of doing some drift-trolling with the breeze. I noticed several marks on the bottom, so I hit spot lock. We never moved again until he headed home. We ended up catching four cutthroat and lots of pan-size rainbows. Disappointing not to catch some tiger trout.
