The yak has been christened with the blood of my first kayak fish ever!

I visited Quarry Lakes on this morning and got some!

I did a stomach content check to see what the Mt. Lassen trout eat...

Three of them has empty stomachs, but the fat one had 3 rocks and a weed in its belly!

Fish laugh when I paddle by.  Sometimes they laugh so hard they fall on my hook.

Congrats on your first blood.  Sort of odd stomach contents.

Right?  Good thing I was using my favorite brand of rock-scented powerbait!

I'm guessing these fish are so bred for stocking that they may have lost some instinctual feeding habits?

Thanks for the report and Congrats on the first blood. Maybe that fish knows something we don't ? Hummm.... fresh water grass and rock colon cleansing. Couldn't be any worse than squirting half a pot of coffee up your butt...
Not that I have tried that.  :smt001

Sorry. That darn Cabeza de Papa guy is putting strange things in my head after reading his comments.

No love trolling with rapalas, and no attention to real live hand-dug garden worms.  The only thing they paid attention to was PowerBait (Rainbow Glitter Turbo Flavor with added Crack)

This was my first time out with a Fish Finder, and most of the marks were just off the bottom.  Saw a few holding at 20 feet or so, but that was only in the deep area between fishing dock and beach.  I did see two hit the surface, and the osprey was active, so they must have been at top-lining depth.
