Got to lake around 11:15. First wave of trout chasers started to leave. All looked like they had great luck. I went out with my wife, Shelly and our 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter. They sat through 5 hours of fishing with better patience than most adults. So proud!

We targeted trout today and landed 4 rainbows between 13 and 15 inches. All were fat. And while we were still fishing, I discovered something I didn't know about Lake McMurray...there are some slab crappie in there! Got one at about 14.5 inches and just about a pound. Took home the two biggest slabs and left the little ones in to get bigger.

This lake just keeps on surprising me. LMB, Kokanee, yellow perch, pumpkinseed, cutthroat, rainbows and crappie. Good species spread for its size, I think.

Cheers!
