Had to get out, got to the lake around 1700, saw 4 people on the dock with nothing to show, 2 other on the bank, but could not tell their success. Went with powerbait on 1 pole and a spinner on the other. Nothing happening except the wind and light rain, not idea. Everyone left so the dock was mine!! The pole with powerbait on the southside while I was casting on the otherside. Suddenly pole almost flipped over, wow!! Turns out a duck flew into it, while finally getting it free, had some resistance, could it be? Turns out it was a planter, about 10", just lipped it, C & R, then went home. Will wait for better days,...

I was "probably" one of the 4. Got there about 3 ish shortly after Brian arrived. Fished from the shore for a bit, and threatened to leave with the first round of down pours. Brian thankfully went and got his rain gear and shortly after the rains stopped (I say thankfully because I had just said if one of us goes and gets our rain gear the rains will stop :)) I then spent at least an hour or more on the dock. One small hit until that child powered rowboat insisted on anchoring right where I was casting. The group on the boat and one fly fisherman were the only fish I saw caught. Both the standard hatchery planter size.

Sad day compared to Saturday where I was catching something every 6 casts. Sadder yet was the fact that Friday was more productive granted all I caught were stick fish and one small bump.

Were you also fishing on the south corner of the dock? Might try later, but like Green Lake, will see,...
