Hit blackman's about 6:30am cruised around lake trying different trolling tecniques without any luck. I know what works on this lake and thats anything yellow and smells like corn. The trout will go nuts for this combo here on this lake. So My friend Mike and I headed to east in the lake and anchored right in front of the little inlet there. the water was about 2 to 3 degrees warmer in this area. First cast not even 30 seconds after wetting the bait "FISH ON" however it was a tiny little 10" hatchery rainbow (boring) after catching about twenty to thirty C&R (always) hatchery fish we decided to look for some bass beds although to cold for them to be spawning we managed to locate a few for next time. I promise if you wanna catch trout in this lake think corn scent as it has always been a goto for me in this lake and has never failed in producing fish.. Overall a good morning of fishing shakers and always a good time to be with friends on the water.
There was another boat up in the corner with us they were trolling flies and seem to be doing pretty well too... And people on the boat launch keeping those 8" trout Please dont waste your time killing those baby fish and release them for future catches where they may just be worth keeping...Thanks to all you C&R guys you know who you are........Fish on...........
