I got 2 this weekend soaking gulp worms with a 2.5year old... in non-trout waters (stocked informally for a kids tournament every June I hear)

I've been out probably four or five time in the last two weeks and the fishing has been just plain stupid for rainbows around 16 inches. I can't eat anymore. Olive marabou woolly bugger gets the nod this year. Nothing on top yet.

A couple of "easy" limits from the "one man canoe"...

Yep, it's been a good helping of brookies and bows in my not-so-local waters... Good to hear others are having the same success! Lost my only brown of the year so far on Sunday- serious fish that I tried to manhandle to keep out of cover. Will be back for another crack at him soon!

I'm glad you said it... I can only catch just so many "cookie cutters" before I get bored. At least at The Big Lake there is a chance for a mawnsta. That should tide me over for a couple more weekends when the real fishing starts.

I stopped on my way back from uncovering the boat last night... it didn't take long to land a pair of brookies on a panter martin.. that 3rd and fianl fish took me into darkeness.. enough "bait" fishing time for some big stuff..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
