Otter Creek Res.

Spent last Sunday at Otter fishing. We trolled from around 9:00am to 2:30. It wasn't real steady, but not bad. Two of us landed a total of 12 fish, most, planters in the 12"-14" range. My friend did land a very nice looking 19". Being mostly planters, they hit on a large variety of hardware. I used several different color patterns of Blue Fox, with the red doing the best. We didn't have a camera. The water was like glass up until the time we left, amazing.

We've always done well fishing from the bank at Otter Creek. When the trout aren't biting, the crayfish are. How much snow in the surrounding hills?

Still looks like quite a bit up high. I'm "guessing" you could get up on Parker though.

Glad you got plenty of fish. Otter's a fun place to go.

We released everything we caught, seems the lake might be missing some of the reputation it had for larger fish.
Could also be very possible we don't know how to fish for the larger trout.

I'm just assuming, but I believe the lake just got heavily stocked. The park ranger says that the DWR did some gillnet surveys and the fish were large, but spread out and fewer than what they'd hoped. Last year's low water months killed a lot of fish.

If you're interested in the bigger fish there, luckycraft pointers, larger kastmasters, and dead minnows work very well to weed out the dinks from the better rainbows.
