Fish the lake today (Thursday) until about 3:00. Did well earlier in the morning, before the sun came out strong. Caught 5, released 2 (both appx 16") & kept 3. Aside from these, I also lost two - one broke my leader & the other simply got away - plus had many take downs which came to nothing.
The first fish caught was the most fun - a large rainbow (first pic). He's about as big as you can catch & keep (legally) in Lk Wash. Great fighter, too. He weighed in at just over 3 1/2lbs. Kept 2 nice cutts. Second pic shows the 2 cutts w/ the rainbow (later in the morning).
With no breeze or chop on the lake (was perfect waterskiing water) - and once the clouds cleared & the sun came beating down, the bite seemed to fade. So I called it a day.
Fished yesterday too. Did well early in the morning - caught & released 3 (14-16 inchers) - then it just went dead for me. Nothing the rest of the day.
Cheers!
