fished deer creek for rainbows 
saw 6 boats and one water skier but nobody was by us.
had four downriggers down between 20 and 5 feet down.
did not take to long till we had all 4 poles catching  rainbows
was using worms and rapalas   worms worked best but it was close
had 4 fish on all the time till we quit at 11 AM  did not count but had to have got over 50
here are 2 that I got on the same lure only  took 3 pictures 






we did not take any home  think the water temp was 54 deg.

beauties! I knew I put my boat away too soon! Maybe a shore trip will be in order-

Sounds like a great day on the water Robert and they look like some nice sized ones too. Did you try any squids and dodgers of just the rapalas tipped with worm?

Got to love a day like that. Congrats

I think the best setup we had was a dodger and a squid  it was down 11 feet
