Fished Patterson in the early morning around 5-9am, lots of fish surfacing, feeding. Caught 1 rainbow 17", nice fish very healthy, lost another of equal size, this fish really did a top water dance, thru my hook tthe fourth time. Lake seems to be going to the bass though, released 2 largemouth around the 15" range. Fished this lake about 12 years ago at night, was fantastic for brookies...all fish were caught using a crawler.
