Yea the first Brown I caught there was about the middle of Oct, also caught on a fly although I cound't tell you what kind since I don't fly fish.(Plan on changing that this year). I caught him on spinning gear with a clear bobber and small black fly reeling in real slow. There are still a lot of them in there. I belive they raise them right there at the lake in thier own fish pens. It's still a pretty good lake to fish after opening day. Opening day weekend it's a Zoo!
