Moved from Whitestone lake spinyray fishing because of the wind.
I have not been to this lake in over 10 years.
There was a group having a picnic where I fished before with such good catching.
Ended up going to the southwest shoreline. Big weed patch right out in front but deep water 20' out.
Was going to fish 2 rods. Rigged up the Ultra light first. Slip sinker 4' 4# leader and 2 pink Gulp eggs.
Casted beyond the weed line and fed it line so it would drop straight down.
It didn't even make it to the bottom and I had a fish.
It was like Bass fishing, pole high in the air and reel as fast as possible to keep the trout from getting stuck in the weeds.
20 minutes later I had my limit. All 11-14" but very pretty fish with pink flesh.
This is the reason I started spinyray fishing.
Too easy to limit out on trout and then what?
Funny thing, since I started fishing for spinyray, I catch a lot of trout on drop shot rigs. At least it is artificial so they can be released.
Leader lake tomorrow. It has spinyray and trout. Should be interesting.

Looking forward to your Leader report. I love that area. If you go back down to Tonasket, checkout East of Tonasket, about 12 miles.
Aenas valley road. Look at 'Round lake'. Pitiful looking pond, but some huge rainbows.
