the trout are few and faw between but a 4lb average size we fly fish there in the summer in a day excpect to land a "trout" or none at all but i use leech flies when the hatch are on and if i dont get the trout i slam the small pike and walleye and perch

Hey thanks guys wasnt sure if there were still trout in Burntstick sounds like they are tricky to get just like cow lake!! Might try out Birch this weekend. Any suggestions for what area of the lake on Birch, and ice conditions if anyone has been?? Thanks for your help fellas!! Keep your lines tight!!!

cow lake bows just get fished out quickly but if your gonna try you luck on trout use shrimp! small silver/gold spoons. or a prince nymph fly
