I would have been VERY surprised if I'd have pulled a catfish out of Electric Lake last Saturday. Just targeting the trout that time around, hence the location.
Even with your wealth of fishing knowledge, I doubt you could convince me that catfish swim in E. Lake's frigid depths. Plus, a catfish's ugly mug would only serve to denigrate that most lovely of places.
I've really been enjoying the settings and scenery surrounding the places I've been fishing for trout lately. I've made two fly fishing trips this spring and summer to Lower Fish Creek (below Schofield Dam) and have caught several nice 'bows, browns, and cutts. There's just something about wading a river high in the mountains, searching for a fiesty trout or two, that is as nice as can be.
And though I may be in the minority here, I much prefer a trout dinner to just about any other fish I might catch in the state, including catfish, which ranks near the bottom of my edible fishies list. (Your Kitty Krispies certainly elevated its standing after our last foray together on UL, however.)
Have you and the missis fished E. Lake in the last couple of years? You should. It's worth the trip for the scenery alone.
