Starting on Saturday, we found fish in an old favorite spot with zero boat traffic. With a stiff east wind, we walked along a big dirty streak of water that was teaming with bait. We landed several small trout at first, but about halfway down the dirty water keepers started to take the baits. No…

January fishing report post cold front
It started of slow today, but from 10:30 on the bite was aggressive! Conservative guess was 25-35 keeper trout and reds were caught. Nothing big, but nice solid 18-22″ trout. Down South Lures kickin chicken, magic grass, strawberry wine, and good ‘ol corkys got the job done.
