The fish are not big last fall we had a day when all the fish were over 3 pounds and were very strong. The other day the fish we kept were in the 2 and a half range I don't know where the strain we were into last fall are. They did not look like the kamloops we caught last week. By surface I mean non-lead core. In the spring till mid may most of the lakes produce better with the lure in the 5 to 10 foot depth. The road requires about ten to fifteen mile an hour for two miles. If you are smart about the way you read gravel rocky roads an extra ten minutes to drive the two miles is no reason to not take a boat. Big boat will require 4 wheel drive as the road out to main is pretty steep. Don't plan on catching big trout at Oakley. Best bet for big fish is still Minidoka Dam where four pounders are close to the average non fall planter caught. Fish we caught the other day there were all but one in that category out of eight. All three year olds are in the 6-8 pound range.
