Too windy to start (0845), but a buddy and I launched my canoe with high hopes of 15 to 18" rainbows, like we were catching last year trolling, this time of year....We did put up pretty good numbers, maybe 2 dozen, but all caught were released, 8 to 10"ers....In the 4 hours we trolled, I had 1 heavy hook up for about 5 seconds....Rapalla worked, as did gold Jake's, rainbow Lure-Jensen, pink X skull fly, all tipped w/ small piece of nite crawler...Fish finder showing off and on deeper, 18 to 33', but I can't get that deep out of my canoe...maybe some of those were larger fish, I don't know....wind died about 11:30, and the smaller fish were still hitting when we left at 1:00...One other larger boat on water, and 1 "pedal-yakker" .....Looked like the larger boat/trailer that launched left tracks way too far out into the muddy part of the ramp before the boat dropped....too scary to do my bigger boat, but a fun canoe outing (other than the sore back, sore rear, sore legs)....Guluk...
