Made it out for the last few days of the season. First few days we were moving all around trying all of the usual hot spots. Manged a handful each day including some dandy's but could not find a large concentration of Trout.
Upon a tactical discussion the night before around the fire pit with beers in hand we had a plan for first light and finally for our last day we found the Lakers stacked up in an area and we absolutely slayed them. Landed over 30 Lakers and got into at least a dozen long distance releases in addition to that before noon between 2 of us. Kept my little daughter quite busy running from hole to hole watching each battle, kissing the fish before the release, and cleaning out the holes of ice chips to be ready for the next epic Laker battle.
To top it off got into some Pike and Walleye action later that afternoon and into the evening.
Could not ask for a better end to the hard water season. Bring on the melt.
