Forest Lake

[Rick Baerg]

Was up at Forest lake for a couple days on the long weekend and got into some fantastic stillwater fly fishing. Was up visiting the family in Willies puddle and had to get out. Weather was not the best and quite cold at times with rain and hail. We managed to get into several fish and none under 4 pounds! One of the best days I have had on Forest lake in some time! :thumbup:
Nice little cromer

May Dad with the fish of the day!

Sweet mother of Pearl. What is that,a bull-shark in the second photo? It's so large it could cause the pontoon boat to capsize. If I saw something that large swim up to my tube I'd be heading to shore to clean out my waders!

I never fished forest before,any tips would help.I thought i would go to one of the two holes,anchoer and throw a gomphus down there.

there is no secret to still water fishin..right now like most lakes, chronies chronies chronies.... and if u see mayflies hatching switch over to mayfly nymphs.

Awesome fish, Bergler! WOW!!! Forest is my favourite lake. It can be very moody and tough, but the pay-off, as evidenced by these pics, can be well worth your troubles.

You guys have to remember that Bergler and his dad are pretty tall people...so those fish in my normal-sized hands would look even more monstrous.

I'm glad to see the hogs are back, Bergler...thanks for sharing. Now for the important question...when are we going?
