Interesting day on Thursday!!
Got out on the lake a bit late IMO. Mid-Morning ... Beautiful Day! The lake was like glass, yet nothing ... Not take downs, bites, nibbles nothing. Fished HARD on 520. At about 12:30, I noticed a "hatch" of sorts ... Not sure what it was. However, lots of bait all of a sudden up on the surface. Several bait balls, which I couldn't tell what they were. Trolled over a couple of them, and they looked to be 3-4 inches long. Didn't look like Stickle Back, almost looked like Sockeye fingerlings.
Anyway .. the bite was on, and after absolutely no action in the morning, I pick up 5 Cuttrhoats in a matter of 1-2 hours, and then the bait dissapeared, along with the trout. I've seen this before in the Early Mornings, never in the Middle of the day. WEIRD.
Trolling spoons .. Albalone, Red/White, and Brass.
No camera, so took measurements on the largest, which was a FATTY at 28" X 11.5" = 4.6lbs
