I new there were some in there but didn't know there were enough to actually target, interesting! Were you by the spillway coming in? Saw a fish jump in the north end of Newell today that I swear was a nice rainbow.

There are tons of them in there. They are pretty easy to target and this time of year is pretty hot. I catch more rainbows in there then I do pike and walleye.

When I saw the two sucker you caught there I knew it would be a decent Rainbow year. Were they chrome or classic Rainbows? Used to get more classics then chromes.

Very chrome. I caught a really nice on ice fishing near the boat launch last November and these ones were the same color. Definitely more silver than last year.
