We put the boat in the water at 4:45pm and pulled out at 7:00. The weather was sunny, no clouds and about 70-75°.

Having never fished Panther before, we weren't sure what exactly to use so we started with a dodger and fly on 2 poles and put an orange wedding ring with a small weight on my son's pole. He got the first strike within a few minutes and landed an 11" rainbow. We ended up all switching to that gear. In the couple hours we were on the lake, we had lots of bites and landed 5 fish in the boat.

The kiddos had a blast and it was a great way for the daily to start the fishing season.
