I hit Riffle lake early in the morning and lunched at taidnapam park around 6:30. I started fishing my two rods at 20 feet. I trolled a wild thing dodger chrome and purple with a pink spinner hoochie on one rod, and rigged a purple Bass Pro XTS minnow on the second rod. I was trolling about 5 minutes and had one on the xts minnow. The fish was about a 10 incher which was returned to the lake, then about 2 minutes later I hit another small fiish on the hoochie. I trolled about 20 minutes and lost a nice one on the xts minnow. That fish jumped about 3 times on me. Since I was not seeing a lot of action, as all fisherman do I thought I should try a different color. I ended up rigging up a green glow hoochie and put a smile blade in front of it as well. I put that set up down and 25 feet, turned around to sit back in my seat, then turned my head and already had a fish on. This time it was a nice about about 15.5 incher, and it was quickly put in the cooler. The green hoochie set up seemed to do the trick. I caught several fish from 25-30ft losing some, but managed to take home 5 nice fish! It was pretty darn windy and choppy on the water but I can't really complain, the action was great and well worth the drive to the lake!

@Salmonbarry, it wasn't bad at all in my opinon, few small limbs that my truck rolled right over right at the waterline, and the rest was clear! Hope you get out there. It was my first time fishing the lake and I loved it!
