Fishing? Word is I took a vet fishing on American Lake. Never fished there before. Word from down there. Was the boat house was cutting loose some pen raised trout. 13" or so in size, and fat!
We gathered some intel from other fishermen at the boat ramp. One older, nice guy requested some trout ID from me. He thought he had a few Kokanee. I am no expert, but tried to help him out. Turns out, what the old codger thought were Kokanee, were Cutthroat Trout.
I was down set on fishing one rod off the downrigger for Kokanee, but found out from a guide that fishes everyday. That fishery was dead right now. So, focused on the trout. I purchase the two pole endorsement. Because of that we had 3 poles out.
Started fishing at 12:00. Surface temp was 47, rarely 48. Found two spots close to shore that were 42............Brrrrrr!
I caught 1, and lost one On the Dick Nite. Before changing his set up out to a more traditional worm/wedding ring. 10 fish caught, 1 lost by 1:50pm. Vet (guest for the day) rod 2 fish. 2nd rod, dodger/worm 4 caught. 3rd rod was a leaded line rig, at 3 to 6 colors out with a Dick Nite. Caught 5 (one lost). 10 fish total. Size 12-13.5".
One fish was a line peeler. Pulled lots of drag. 30 ft of drag the first run. 15 on a second run. Thought that was one of the monsters in the lake. NOPE! Was a tail hooked 13" trout.......LOL!
Guess they fight much harder when hooked there...LOL!
Was a good time. Despite a late start, the fish were cooperating.
