What a day it was on Hayden Lake. We trolled the shallows with deep diver rapalas and crankbaits and landed this beautiful Cuttbow weighing in at 10.3lbs. After 2 hours of trolling we headed to see if the crappies were schooling up yet in the north end. It couldn't have worked out any better, we ended up boating about 25 Crappie, releasing all but a few, caught a pike, 2 largmouth bass and a perch all on a bobber and jig. Feeling good about the nice weather rolling in and the fishing will only get better.
