Went out to Fishtrap for my first time. I had my 90+ lb dog with me for the first time on my 12' boat, so was a little nerve racking, but ended up having a good day.

Ended up catching quite a few catfish - all less than 12" and a mess of trout - all 9" or so.

Lots of luck with worms, also tried a white / red 1/16 fur jig tipped with worm with alot of success. Spinner also worked well.

Fun day, lots of fish, tons of small panfish, so needed to fish in the deeper water.

Catfish mostly biting between 6-8am, trout the rest of the day. Lost the digital camera, so no pics.

Yeah all bullheads. That was my first time at Fishtrap, and didn't hook into any huge cats, there was a couple I caught in the 12" range. I sunk a dead pumpkinseed and got a nice hit and it came up without a back half, but a 12" could have done that...

No big ones yet, but I would like to try Fishtrap again, does anyone know of any good lakes for Catfish?
