Shadow Cliffs 1/20

Did a few laps around Shadow Cliffs this morning, trolling a couple of minnow lures.

Stuck this 24.5" fish early on in the morning...


Only had two other hits the rest of the morning.  One was spit immediately, the other came unbuttoned after a very short fight.

It was cold.  A slight breeze that picked up a bit and got gusty at times as the morning wore on didn't help.

Off the water around 11.

Nice one Nate! Been hearing some nice fish coming out of that lake..may have to pay it a visit. Thanks for the report pics.

Way to go bungle!  the fish and the boat look great. 

Nice trout Nate.

Nate-

Way to brave the cold and stick a fat trout. I guess you needed a little break from hunting dinos huh???

Sweet! I keep forgetting to pull out my minnow lures--glad to hear they are producing.

SWEET ONE Nate!  how many laps did you do?  That was the first lake i took my kayak to back in the day...(2yrs.ago) and loved it!

thanks for setting the trout-bar at 24" buddy!      

Did he take you for a sleigh ride?   Those trout are ferrocious varmints.   Way to go on dem points Nate.

Nice AOTY points Right Thurr!

Right on Nate!
No "bungling" on that one.
Nice fish!

I guess you needed a little break from hunting dinos huh???

You got it.  I almost forgot what its like to catch something  .  I'll probably be back to not catching sturgeon next weekend  .

If it weren't such an ugly lake I would fish there more.

It was my first time there.  It did seem to have a certain "uniqueness" to it 

how many laps did you do?

Only about four complete laps.  All the bites came from one area, so I spent most of the morning working that area as thouroughly as possible.

Fish in the boat! Nice pic, Nate.
