Isnt most of that area frozen right now, i guess it must have thawed yesterday because i know for a fact only a small portion by the bridge was open on monday.

Never fished it, for trout i stick to the south end of the Res., overall its deeper.

Striper Sniper, you mention a muddler minnow, were you flyfishing? That is a fly right?

All of the trout i have gotten this year have been that same silvery color too, they are very healthy looking fish. Every one has been 16-17" and weighed 1lb 9-11oz. Maybe they are stocked?
I was very surprised that this larger one i got was the color and shape that he was, i have read that often brown trout in lakes take on that silvery color and longer thinner shape, especially when thier diets consist largely of other fish, which i believe is the case at the Saug.

I did get a very healthy rainbow on the friday before x-mas, it was the nicest looking rainbow i have ever seen, around 15", weighed 1lb 11oz and was fat as hell and, very strong, i thought he was much larger before i saw him. One of only 2 rainbows i ever got there, the other i could have used as bait he was so small.

they have all looked like this guy here:

Awesome to see these fish at this time of year. I live 10 minutes away.....I need to take a ride. Just a couple more days...........

That is exactly what the one's I've caught look like. I don't think they are stocked and it's nice to see there are some rainbows around still.

The Muddler Minnow is a deer hair fly, I've had great success in Candlewood with it also, pulsing it just under the surface making a slight wake. My biggest brown ever - 29" and 9.6# was taken on a #2 Long Shank Muddler in CWood. If you flyfish give it a try on a floating line, otherwise I have had luck with the Rapala's when no room for a back cast! I'll be down there later on to test the waters again.

You have no idea how much time i have put into fishing that reservoir this year, I'm surprised I still have a girlfriend. I would have swam 5o feet out to get em if i had to. And then been arrested by the BHC Police probably.
