Some of my favorite stillwater fishing is at the Gorge. The rainbow fishing in that lake is way underrated in my opinion. I've had so many great spring and fall trips there fishing for those 'bows. My favorite areas are Sheep Creek Bay and the Buckboard area. Olive maribou jigs in 1/16 ounce are my staple. A nice brown comes to hand occasionally also, as well as smallies.
As far as size goes, I've caught lots around 4lbs, but the average is a solid 17-18". My biggest is probably around 5#. There are surely bigger in there, as Dale Canty knows.
I don't even mess with the lake trout. The 'bows are much funner!
