I hit Potholes Reservoir yesterday to test several lures. The fishing was slow; only one rainbow to the net. (Had another one throw the hooks behind the boat.)

In spite of only netting one fish, and having to "work at it", I seriously enjoyed the time on the water: The rainbows in this reservoir are slabs. They outfight the steelhead in Rock Lake. (That's a steelhead rod that the fish in the video has doubled over.) See the footage here:

Both fish (the one that threw the hooks and the one in the video) were taken with a 3.9 inch OG1. The outside is red-oxide over black scales. The inside is fluorescent orange. (I've been rigging these 3.9" lures as saltwater lures; but, after yesterday, have decided that I need to rig some for freshwater and get them up on the store.)
