Fished the lake today (Friday). Wasn't planning on going out, but decided in the afternoon, to give it a try. Had about 6 take-downs & boated 2. Three of those take-downs happened right in front of Gate's house, literally, between his dock & the "No Wake' marker. I trolled through there & bam,..bam,..bam! Fish-Off! Gate's security guard (who never waves back to me!) watched. Brought my line up, checked it - then ran down about 50 yards, turned around & headed to make another pass. Same spot, exact same thing - bam,..bam,..bam! Fish-Off! So, I pulled up, ran down, turned around again for another pass - this time nothing. Turned around - did it again - bam,..bam,..bam! Fish-Off! Dam! Dam! Dam! Made one more pass & nothing. I figured I'd had my "3 Strikes" & was out. I tipped my hat to the fish, & went about my business. Anyways, by this time, the security guard probably figured I was up to no good. He just gave me a steely stare the whole time.

Of the 2 fish I boated, the rainbow was the most surprising. Another 1.5"s & I would've had to let him go. I made sure I measured him a couple of times, before I decided I could/would keep him. The cutt also was a nice fish - a big jumper - must of came out of the water 4 times. Also, don't let anyone tell you none of these Lk Wash cutts are searun. This one has sea lice all over it.

Cheers!
