BassSlayer Report post Posted September 8, 2023 Went to Black Canyon and Willow springs lakes over the holiday weekend. Bumper boats too say the least!!! But we got on the water at daylight and stayed till the crowds run us off. Game and fish show a probability of 1 in 8000 chance of catching the elusive Tiger trout ( cross of brown and brook trouts ) Well we caught 4. Here's a pic of what they look like. We also caught a lot of 20-23" Rainbows. Amazing weekend. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesPursuit Report post Posted September 8, 2023 May I ask, were the tigers in Willow Springs but not Black Canyon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted September 8, 2023 I fished Willow for 6 days before the holiday and caught at least 1 tiger each day. They were all very skinny. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm guessing the 1/8000 is a cast ratio for 100 inexperienced anglers. 1-2 a day sounds about right, at least for WCL anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted September 9, 2023 I've been catching an average 2 - 3lb rainbows and a few very nice tigers at Woods Canyon lake every Wednesday . Have had a few 5+ lb studs. (rainbows) going up next Wednesday with a great fellow from here. Then time to head to the reservation to start catching big browns, then big lake before the freeze. Great looking fish you caught. Weekends do suck. Thats why I work the weekends and fish middle of the week. Happy fishing 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BassSlayer Report post Posted September 11, 2023 My Bad, it was Willow springs and Woods canyon lakes. Never fished them till the busiest weekend lol. We did hit Black canyon lake , but the water level was so low you couldn't launch a boat, at least not a real boat. We did hit Hawley and Reservation and they both were dead. Will have to hit them later when it cools down. Good luck all 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We fished for Bass last weekend , caught a few on spinner baits and top water (pop r) ,I though at first they were draining the lake to kill off the bass and start it as a trout lake again.
