I went out once this summer, and spoke to a worker at the Trading Post who indicated that the fishing this summer was the worst in memory. Hopefully that was just due to the heat, and not the carp.
I didn't do very well, I trolled the lake for a few hours and caught three. A small brown, a decent rainbow and a large rainbow. Can't wait to get out on the ice this year, early ice is always crazy on that lake!
4.5 lbs. Would've won the fishing derby by a mile. Notice it's missing a pectoral fin. |
Nice looking trout, good job.
