Strobel Lake Fishing Report by Greg Pope

FISHING Report

ANGLER: Greg Pope
TRIP TAKEN: Strobel Lake Fly Fishing Lodge
CONSULTANT: Patrick Kissel, Outdoors International

December 10, 2022

Great fishing lodge with food and service that exceeded expectations.

All of the fishing guides were great to be around and our guide Emmanuel was superb. He moved us around and found fish and did his best to deal with the wind that never quit.

I expected big trout on this trip, based on all the stories i have read over the last several years. I was not disappointed as I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty. I will hopefully go again soon!.

He was able to keep me encouraged and motivated, and he suggested I hold out for true trophies. I would rate him an 11 on a scale from 1-10.
