Had to split the day between "have to do" and "want to do" which meant staying close to home. So I hit up Green Lake with my canoe again. I fished from 10am-2pm. Started out trolling a little silver Rapala, with no success so I switched back to simply trolling nightcrawlers. That was the ticket. The 1st fish was a nice Brown, about 20", largest fish I've gotten out of this lake, great fighter! The 2nd was a smaller holdover bow. had a few more strikes, but no more hookups. As always for this lake - all were released.
There was a lot of people fishing the shoreline but I was the only one out on the water and since I stay in the middle of the lake , I don't know how they were doing. If you get can onto this lake, the hot area to troll is back & forth along the buoy line on the backside of the island. I went all over the lake today and that is the area that saw all the action.
If you are fishing for the new stockers, you might try florescent green PB or something - I have one of those Hummingbird smart cast fishfinders. The transducer is florescent green and I have it tied to the canoe. At one point I looked down at it and there was a little stocker (9" + or -) swimming along behind it.
Sorry about the pics - I am still trying to get the whole self portrait thing down.. Fight the fish, while pulling out the camera, turning it on getting is set up, setting the auto-pic, get the fish in, hit the button, wait-wait-wait-click, get the fish back in the water and hope it worked!
