Had a few hours to spend on the lake so i thought i would test the water for the derby this weekend, and the lake is still pretty slow. Worked towards the airrator and back without a bite, then worked the 80' mark with a 45 min left of daylight and picked up 3 fish almost back to back then nothing.

All fish caught at 30' trolling pretty fast. Dicknite dodgers and a Kokaneekid Pink Spinner were the hot ticket with shoepeg and DNA scent. 25ft set backs.

Me and John Thomas were talking and i think he has a very scary but good point, a few to many years of high limits and heavy fishing pressure have taken their toll on this once very productive lake. I hope our rule makers and bioligist's take note of the hard catching at the lake this year. Cause this time last year i was pulling limits every trip, now its hard to scratch out a few fish.
