I spent the other day getting my pontoon together. and today I hit one of my favorite lakes. ????
The water was a crisp 39 degrees the wind was blowin at 8-10 miles per hour from the north and the hi temp. for the day 55. With a hook up about every 20 minutes the action for a mid winter lake trip Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! The fish Bows, Tigers, and Browns a triple header.I spent from 10am to 2pm and I think the longest wait between hook ups was maybe 30 minutes. All the fish I landed were between 18 & 22 Fat and full of fight.

I know Bad pictures but it was the best I could do at the time First is a 20 in. Bow and this other on is a 22"Tiger that I could of put my fist inside of his mouth and still had room to move it around. I tried lots of stuff and found the feed while I was there was #16 chironomidae black with purple ribbing. I tried some crawdads, leaches, blood worms, even a couple of wooly buggers on sink, intermediate lines, Kicking, stripping and everything in between. But anchored worked the best with a strike indicator. casting into the wind and just striping keeping a tight line. I even let the wind blow me around for a while. Set up 40 to 50 feet from the down wind shore with anchor but before I could get 5 cast laid out I was to close to shore even with 15 lbs. The only reason that I pulled out was I couldn't feel my feet anymore and had a hard time getting my feet to work when I did made it to shore, and I had to peee something fierce. You know that feeling you know.
SO FOR ME AT LEAST THINGS ARE LOOKING UP AND I CAN SEE ANOTHER GREAT LAKE SEASON FAST APPROACHING EVEN THO IT'S MORE THAT TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AWAY. Both of the Green Lakes is Ice free.
Some of the lowland lakes early Rocky Ford is almost a stillwater. I'll be going back there at least a couple more time, and who knows maybe I'll get in some more Steelheading, but I am not going to count on the later.
Downloaded some pictures of my phone today so I'll add them to a few past post.
