Had to hit this little lake before it closes and it was what I expected, maybe a little slower than what I expected. Caught fish on Senko's fairly predictably, missed two on a small floating Rapala. L...

3-10-15: Took a while to get bit today! I covered some areas twice with no bites, nothing spooked, it was a little weird. I literally found one 50 yard stretch where the water was 1 degree warmer and ...

Well the decision to hit this body of water today was a good one! First lake blew, 45* water and nothing going on. Even the ambient temp at that lake was 7 degrees colder than what I drove from. I dec...

2 bites 2 fish, can't complain about that. I can complain about the amount of trash being obviously left behind by "fishermen"! Pack it out people, unless you're just too physically weak and lazy to c...

Trout action continues to be consistent on this lake. I use a single tiny split shot and a fly OR a little larger split shot and two yellow power eggs. I troll the fly as slow as possible. The power e...

Lake 4: We were getting pretty spent when we hit this lake, even so we gave it a good lap but to no avail. I finally ended up catching 1 small crappie on a floating Rapala just to not get skunked! ...

Well, after putting the big boat away and getting the yard work done I slipped out on Ki to see what the trout were up to? They were pretty active as I had the first fish on in less that 20 feet of tr...
