After getting minnows from bits and baits i was on my way, this lake is pressured a bit less than the others in the area and like i expected i was the only one there when i arrived. I usually bring my jon boat when targeting trout but i know where the brookies like to hang out in this lake, i casted my bobber from shore and the wait was on. After 15 minutes of nothing my bobber shot down and i got the first trout of the day, that's when i knew a school came through. I would put on a minnow and cast it out and wouldn't even wait 30 seconds before a trout took it, they weren't holdovers but still fun to catch. After getting a couple of females i got my first male, it still wasn't a holdover but it was nice to see it full of colour this time of year. After catching about 10 small guys i got my first holdover at around 11 inches, i decided i would release it because it was barely hooked and had a good chance of surviving, i grabbed the hook and shook it off in the water. I was excited and cold, the action just wouldn't slow down, after i noticed i used over 2 dozen minnows i switched over to worms and they were hitting it almost as fast. Near the end of the day the smaller trout started to slow down, i switched back to a minnow and caught a few holdovers before dark.
12 and 13 incher for dinner
