Below the small dam that was erected on Lake Tahoe(douchebags!) there is a pretty good size pool filled with giant trout. Gawking tourists buy fish pellets and watch as 10+lb browns and rainbows come up and get em. It is a pretty cool little spot, there is no fishing within 1000ft of the dam, and as near as I can tell, those fish never really leave the safety of that pool for the fishable reaches of river downstream. I made the mistake of stopping by there for the first time after I spent an entire day getting my butt kicked by the crafty denizens of the Truckee River. I fished all day for no grabs and on the way home got to stare at 50 trout over 5 lbs. Awesome. Getting to the point. It would seem that these fish arent completely safe afterall. The mink, which is in the same family as weasels, is about the size of a muskrat or small ferret. That makes this fish about, oh, 7lbs probably? Maybe bigger? Regardless, these guys are gnarly.

ReplyDeleteIn the video is the trout dead or alive?
ReplyDeleteI think that when it is swimming around, it is most likely alive, or a zombie.
ReplyDeleteI emailed the gal that posted the video, she said the mink eventually killed the brown. I think that thing is bigger than 7.
