Collins Lake 4/20/2010
We have fished Collins lake 2 to 4 times a week for the last 4 weeks and have been doing very well with one trip getting us 20+ fish.
Everything seems to be working, Rapalas, trolling flies, grubs, spinners.. Almost everything seems to catch them as long as we are using them with the G2 Jigger. I really like this new product. It also is catching Macks at Stampede with stickfisk in chrome green color and the big rapalas in chrome blue or chrome black…
Checkout the g2 jiggers at cut2spec.com and get a discount by ordering them through minermoes.com….
Most of the Macks are 21-24 inches and running about 4-5 pounds with the biggest hitting 17+lbs…

Collins Lake Rainbow Trout
Fished Collins 3 days in a row and the fishing was great on Friday, Good on Saturday and fair on Sunday.
Friday we got over 10 with one over 4lbs and on Saturday we got 8 with one 3+lber and 4 over 2lbs. On Sunday we only scratched out 4 with 1 going just under 3lbs…
Got fish on Trolling Flies, Cripplures, Fishen w/ Gary spinners and Rapalas…
On Sunday Paul Kneeland got one over 6 lbs on the fishsniffer boat late in the afternoon. Good to hear someone had a good day on Sunday, most the fishermen we talked to on Sunday were having a tough day…

Collins Lake 3/15/2010
Today we had a half day guide. We fished with Ryan Carlson of Grass Valley.
Got on the water at 8:30am and off at 12:30pm. We lost the first 4 we hooked up, then they started sticking. Ended up catching 7 and losing 8 with 2 going over 2 lbs, the rest were dinks. All fish under 2 lbs are returned to the lake to fatten up a bit.
Water temp was about 51-53 degrees and fish were a little deeper today (15-20 feet). Cinnamon, rust and brown colors are working well as is orange. Chartreuse is starting to catch fish also.
