Fishing Report
How's Fishing?
Fishing was great last week and this past weekend. We had several lunkers brought up and several nice trout that almost made the lunker board. I was able to make it down to the stream and caught several nice fish. I may have even caught the tree that was behind me during my back cast, but that's another story. This Saturday morning in zone 2 the fishing was great. Everyone around me seemed to be doing good. The folks to the right of me were slaying the trout with Super Dupers. White Glo balls were also doing great with an indicator.
It appeared everyone on the whistle bridge were filling stringers. I hope everyone has a great start to the week. Good luck, be safe and we'll see you on the stream.
