I havnt been up there this year yet, but had a couple of good trips there last spring/summer.  Seem to usually hit a handful of aggressive little rainbows. Havnt fished it much other than that since I was a kid, wondering if there are many fish over the "catchable" size lurking in there? I would imagine that leeches would produce just fine right now if you do a bit of searching...

Threre are some big fish in Weaver. I have caught a few, but there are literally 10s of thousands of small fish in that lake....and sometimes you can't keep em off.

went up on saturday and did fairly well. pumpkinhead fly was the go to fly that day. also got a couple on a minnow pattern. cold and wet for the first 1/2 half of the day but cleared up later. most of the fish were dark and not good fighters but fun anyways.
