Although some residents would like to keep the rainbow trout fishing success at Lac des Roches a secret, it is hard to sit and keep quiet on a story so big, when it involves an 11 ½ pound fish fighting on a small chironomid fly for about fifteen minutes! That is exactly what happened to resident fisher, Doug Fawcett on his first day out fishing this year and there’s a picture to prove it. A week has passed since the lake ice disappeared and the fish are active and hungry. Many fishers were observed hauling in 2 – 4 pound trout over the long weekend, despite the persistent rain showers.
