We can tell a similar tale: We arrived at 8:00 to clear skies and calm. But until the wind started to get up, we had a difficult time finding cooperative fish. Most we saw were bottom-huggers until then.
However, as the weather deteriorated, the fishing improved. And during one 90 minute window, my 2 sons-in-law really pounded the cutts. No 'bows this time, about a dozen trout in the 14 - 16" range, and all the others were 19 - 20+"! But it shut off on us about 12:30, and we got our little sixteen-foot Lund outta there!
And while black has been our go-to color for everything we've been throwing, it was all white today!
Water temp ranged from 49 to 51 degrees, and we have hopes of another trip or two before ice up.
