I've fished two lakes outside of my proverbial backyard in my lifetime. Once was about 12 years ago at Howard Prairie down south. Amazing, as none of the fish were under 16 inches. And what gets me are the people who are USED to this. Heck, I get excited when I get anything over 11".

The other lake has been fished twice by myself: Wallowa lake in the Blue Mountains. I've caught a couple over 13" over there, but mostly again in the 10-11" range. Beautiful country though.

May have to give Roslyn a try next week. Wife gets done with classes tomorrow and I've got dibs on at least one day next week.
