I have my own "story of a lifetime" pulling a Tiger out of Scofield recently.
That said, it is obvious to anyone whose seen a "Chub boil" down there that the lake is full of them.
And there certainly is an "unhealthy" bunch of small trout.
In my trips to Scofield last year we caught 5 fish in the 24" class, and a whole bunch 13" and under. Both my father and I caught the biggest trout we have ever caught in the state at Scofield last November.
But where are the fish in the 15-20" range? I think we caught two rainbows and one Cutt out of about 100 fish in that size range.
The lake does seem unhealthy.
But it is also an awesome trophy factory.
I know I will be making trips up there this year going after the lunkers again. And I will be watching the developments carefully.
