2 bites 2 fish, can't complain about that. I can complain about the amount of trash being obviously left behind by "fishermen"! Pack it out people, unless you're just too physically weak and lazy to c...

Trout action continues to be consistent on this lake. I use a single tiny split shot and a fly OR a little larger split shot and two yellow power eggs. I troll the fly as slow as possible. The power e...

Lake 4: We were getting pretty spent when we hit this lake, even so we gave it a good lap but to no avail. I finally ended up catching 1 small crappie on a floating Rapala just to not get skunked! ...
