Melanie and i thought we'd have a little window between raindrops for a much needed fishing trip, tough fishing, I was skunked but melanie caught two, this being the larger. 3.5 lbs. after bleeding, we found that trout lose about a ounce per lb. after bleeding out , so this one was close to 4, but shy 'bout a 1/4 lb. Nice female, full of eggs, not long out of the hatchery, will cure the eggs as they were nice skeins. Put up a great fight on Mel's little Loomis, made a couple of determined runs for the anchor line, but she managed to turn her "round and we put her in the net.Cold rain drove us out but a quick run back to the launch was all that was left.Bob R

Bob, are there gas motor restrictions on this lake? Nice fish. You two always turn out very good reports.

W e go back and forth between electric and gas on this lake, if we are trolling I'll generally (depending on time of year) use the elec. as it has finer speed control and it's not too big a lake, but for still fishing(which I believe is better in the winter on this lake) we use the gas engine as it enables us to get in and out faster (esp. when that cold rain hits!) Thanks for comments, tight lines to all. Bob and Melanie

It didn't look like it was out of the hatchery more than a month or two, we caught a pair in mid-december that were a little smaller but about the same , meat wise. Smaller fish was about 13 inches and red inside, usual holdover.
