Had a bad case of the winter blues and was getting itchy to do some fishing, Hit Rotary at about 3:30 in the afternoon just after the last snow shower and fished the east side of the lake. Used rainbow powerbait and fished off the bottom with about 18" of leader. Took my light trout rod with 4 lb test, that was a mistake, had 5 fish snap my line on the strike, released 3 around the 10 " size and kept 4 all in the 3 lb range, including 1 nice sized brown trout. Next time i'm taking my medium trout rod and maybe i'll get to hooked into one of those 10 lb triploids lurking around down there.

Keep in mind, when fishing with bait you can only catch 5 total. If you catch and release one on bait, it counts toward your limit. Don't want to see you get a ticket. Where do you park when you go to Rotary?
