Headed to a little local lake it is stocked with trout and is only open during the summer months. I have been here a few times and the lake is so clear and not very deep you can see trout cruizing around but they won't bite anything I throw at em. Well this morning started off the same I tossed everything I had with me power bait worms spoons spinners. I was throwing a baby walleye rapala and on one cast one of the trebles got tangled and the rapala skipped across the top like a little popper. This got me a few bites but did not hook one them it got hot and they went deeper but I could still see them cruizing by. I putt on 3 red power eggs and about 3 worms no weight casted and watched it slowly sink it looked like one swallowed the eggs so I set the hook the fight was on it went airborne 3 or 4 times and was pulling line like I had a motor boat on the other end. Finally all the hiding in the weeds like a fishing ninja casting every lure I could find had payed off. I finally got em in and he was hooked on the top fin. O Well a catch is a catch I normally don't take fish but this was personal !!! Well so I still haven't truely caught one of these guys there is some big boys in there too. I am going back in the morning when they are surface feeding and trying a small hula popper or give the ol' fly fishing another wack...
