Hit the lake at about 9:00 am - limited at 10:00am.

All rainbows 10-12 inches. I was using a jig tipped with worm, so after the 5th one, I packed it up and went home.

My sister bought me a gamesaver vacuum sealer thing I wanted to try. It worked good.

No pictures, all regular ole 'bows. On a side note, when cleaning them - i cut open the stomachs to see what they were eating, all of them has the exact same material. Looked like mosquitoes - that was the only food ingested. You fly fisherman, any ideas of what they are eating? Is it in fact mosquitoes or something else?

All 5 fish retained and vacuum sealed!

Sounds like feeding on midges or chironomids. Chironomids and blood worms are favorite foods, they're the larvae and then they emerge as mayflies, mosquitos, etc. I'm not an enomotologist and don't fish many drys, however chirono fishing can be deadliest method of all in our area lakes.
