My 'home' lake
The last time I fished Hitchcock Bay I was dragging a jig while I readied my boat for the end of my trip. Not 50m from the launch I managed a nice 3# rainbow. As you follow the shore there are many little bays all along the west side that you can go in and out of.
Or go across to the structure just off the east side, a south shore, slightly south of straight east. Lots of walleye in my experience.
Most days I long line a willow leaf and spoon or a crankbait with inline weight or slip weight in that area south to the fish enclosures just north of the ferry crossing and back. I've had a few multi-species days.
If I'm not mistaken, the Konrads caught the second record triploid at the bottom of the spillway at Gardiner Dam at night. Not sure where the first one was taken but both famous fish were escapees from the aquaculture pens.
BTW. The farmed rainbow trout in that region have darker (red) flesh than the native variety. The main market for these fish is Europe and I'm told they prefer the meat to resemble salmon over there. The masses of fish that escaped in 2000, from which the Fishing Geeks claim to fame originated, are long dead but a few get away every year and grow, grow, grow.
