Pine Donkey Report post Posted June 4, 2012 We spent the past week fishing the White Mountains, and the fish were very cooperative. We quickly caught our limits each time we went to Nelson Lake, although most fish were the recently stocked 8-10 inch type. This was great for the little kids. We spent a few hours on the Black, between Diamond Rock and Buffalo Crossing. Again, the fish were plentiful. A third of them were Browns the rest Apache. We did not get to Big Lake this trip, but a friend did. He limited out each day. He also did quite well at Sunrise. On the busy weekends we avoid the most popular lakes, opting instead to fish a small remote pond. This pond is usually a bit slow, but produces some toads. Surprisingly we caught a bunch of fish in the 6 inch range. I am not sure if it was stocked by G and F or if these juvenile trout are just naturally produced. In addition to the pleantiful young fish, we caught about 6 to 8 big guys each visit. This is cody with a couple "typical" fish from this pond on Saturday evening. Here are the keepers from Sunday morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted June 4, 2012 How I wish I was up there right now instead of here typing but this will have to do for now. Thanks for the pictures and sounds like y'all had some really good fishing. Those are some pretty healthy trout for sure. I drove passed Nelson Lake last September but never gave it much thought it had trout in it. I guess I should have known. I'll make sure I have my pole with me next trip in that area. Thanks for sharing Robert. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
