Got to the lake around 9:00am. There wasn't any surface action at all and even though there were a few vehicles parked at the launch no boaters were visible. I was taking my cousin (13 years old) with me as we had a wager going who could catch the most. He was dedicated to using lures and myself, using flies on my fly pole. My cousin caught a couple on the south and east side of the lake using a gold Castmaster, probably 7-8". We then went into the cove at the north east corner and that's where we found everyone else. I caught four small ones relatively quick. I rowed into the back water, the snags had been sawed enough to allow my boat fairly easy access. My cousin lost his favorite lurer, the gold Castmaster in the channel. He learned a valuable lesson that you always buy more than one of your favorite lurers. I wouldn't advise the larger boats to try as it has a very shallow spot right before you head into the channel. Its pretty shallow all the way into the smaller backwater. There was fairly good surface action back there. I caught about 3 more small ones. We came out and then went back to the launch for lunch. We talked to a regular there who said most of the carry-overs head into the cove in the spring and most of what we were catching was that years plants. He said it was a better evening lake starting at 5:00 or later. For the rest of the afternoon we trolled the north side and west side and I did fairly. I gave my cousin a black woolly worm to use and he caught a decent sized fish on the northeast side, north of the cove entrance. It was probably 12". I then promptly caught one about 10". At the end of the day I stood the victor with 20 fish caught to my cousin's 5. We released all but one each to take home as proof we caught something. I used various flies throughout, all size 6, ranging from woolly buggers & worms, care special, damselfly nymph, brown march spiders, green rock worm, etc...they all caught at least 1-2 fish. I don't know how soon I'll be back. We spent 10 hours
