Rosylin Lake is about to be extinct and even though there is still water flowing into the lake there is certainly alot less flow already with Marmot dam now down. I wanted to drop by there on my way home from my old house and see if the lake was drained. Since it had not been drained as of yet I decided to take some very special images to remember the lake by when the lake and myself are long gone from the area. I plan to leave the area soon but have had many good trout flyfishing moments on the lake.

There was always a great Hexagina mayfly hatch in mid summer and often larger hold over trout keyed only to naturals would feed on them. The takes on a hex dry was always a loud hard splash and often produced fish in the 15" range. Some nights produced clouds of the huge yellow mayflys that was just neet to watch. Often flocks of swallows would swoop in and feed heavy on those that emerged and escaped the waters surface. Spent many a warm night waiting for the hatch and the rise that would follow to start. Perhaps one of the strongest hex hatches in the state I have ever seen.

Although we all agree that it is best for the river to remove the dam it is still kind of sad to see Rosylin drained after many years of fun times.
