California Heritage Trout Challenge, Goose Lake Red Band Trout By Harold Whitmore July 17, 2010 With the Warner Lake Redband Trout successfully caught and released by Ken Brunskill and I, We were focused on finding our second Heritage Trout. The Goose Lake Redband. The Goose Lake Redband is found in the water drainage feeding Goose Lake from the Eastern side of Gooselake. Lassen Creek, located East of Goose lake is a prime location for this trout as is nearby Pine Creek. We were conveniently located on Pine Creek and decided to search for the Goose lake Redband on this stretch of water. Shortly after lunch we were off in search of our next target. We decided to fish Pine Creek before heading to Lassen Creek. Maybe ten miles down the road from Cave lake Campground. We located some nice fishable water on this somewhat small creek. After getting several takes but no landing we worked our way up stream and I landed the first of our Goose Lake Redband. The pressure was now on Ken. Ken is an extremely experienced fly angler and he showed it. He must have caught 6 or 8 browns until he decided to go back to the spot where I had caught mine. The pocket had settled for some time now and he had no problem landing and releasing his Goose lake Redband.
