Neighbor and fishing buddy Mike L. and I decided to spend this hot, sunny, April day on Trails End Lake. We both took our own boats -- Mike is a fly fisher and needs his space. I like bass fishing and also need my space on a small boat. Trails End Lake does not allow gas motors. I tried for bass with an assortment of lures but found no takers. Mike was catching a few trout on flies so I tied on a small yellow Rooster Tail Spinner and joined him. I ended up with a limit of planters. I gave the fish every chance to get off and did not net any of them. Both Mike and I both hooked one nice big trout -- Mike reminded me several times that he got his in the boat. Mine had a long line release after 3 beautiful jumps. Beautiful day on the water with calm winds and warm sunshine.
