Spent a couple hours on American Lake with my daughter in tow. The weather was nice: sunny, mid-40's, slight breeze. We tried a new spot, mainly because it offered some play area for my daughter. It was fairly shallow and I didn't have much hope for catching any trout but I was dead wrong. My daughter hauled in, after a lot of work, this 4.5 lb, 23 in. rainbow. Shortly after this photo I brought in a 5.5 lb, 26 in. rainbow. Not bad for shore fishing with a little power bait. We released the larger trout and took the smaller home for dinner. A good day fishing and my daughter got in some good play time too!
