I went there this morning, pretty crowded but I found a good spot to cast out from. Caught 3 trout in about an hour's worth of fishing, biggest one was about 1.5lbs. Looking forward to going back.

Arrived at the lake around 7AM and fished in earnest for a couple hours. Not a bite for us, or for the two other souls there. We saw quite a few rolling, but went home not smellin' like fish.
