The old man visited, so I took him fishing in my 'back yard'. We fished the Gorge at the confluence, by Lost Dog. The mack fishing was slow...We didn't get any and burned half the day trying. The morning bite was the best (it ended about the time I arrived). A few people around us landed a couple, nothing huge. The trout fishing went better. We fished in 10 to 12 feet of water with various jigs. Most fish were caught on the bottom. Pink and white seemed to be the colors. The best fishing happened to be on thin ice (2.5 to 3 inches) and very clear. It was cool watching the fish fight under the ice since it was like glass. Pictures are attached.
