Trip Report

Rainbow Trout

46°F Sunny with Light Breeze

Clear

Stocked their trout 2k lbs on Thursday. People left and right from me had been catching. I got a sinker and floating power bait with two rods and a third rod for lures and I have not gotten a bite at all. Yesterday was Saturday the 18th and I fished from 11 AM to 2 PM and then again from 4 PM until 7pm I got too cold. 38 degrees after the sun went down. And nothing.
Today is Sunday the 19th. I dropped my rods at 1:30 PM. It is now 330. I’ve changed locations. There are about 30 to 40 people around the lake today at this time and nobody has gotten any bites.
