First time out in quite awhile, but things came together and Cindy and I put the boat in the water around 11-1130 AM. Headed up river to the lower most pens and fish around them casting jigs, spinners, and spoons. We didn't get any bites in this area. We didn't try fishing the bottom near the pens this trip, but may do so in the future. We fished back downstream as the sun was angling down in the sky. Caught fish in the cabin hole area, and on further on down lake in the pump one area. Smallish fish so C&R when appropriate, and ended up keeping 2 trout and one walleye for the fryer. The walleye was a incidental catch, and we worked the area really hard trying to pick up another one, but to no avail. The trout were 2# 3oz & 3# 11 oz, and the wallie was 4# 14 oz.
Caught fish over a scattered area, and did not find a consistent pattern. The wind was making the water rough in some areas, but still was nice to get out on the water.
Stay safe and respect the cold weather while on the water.
