A friend and I had a slowish day of fishing today on Flathead Lake. But even a slowish day of fishing is a fun day. And one of the lake trout I caught was 35 inches long.

Nice fish Peter. I see you have your wind indicator out did you get her jigging?

--- End quote --- Yes, I did. In the spring, most of the lake trout are pretty deep, and jigging at depths from 170-240 feet is the most productive fishing technique. In the first picture above, my fish finder is showing 177 feet, which is about the depth at which I caught the fish. That's pretty deep for downrigger trolling from a kayak.

I caught a bunch of lake trout today on Flathead Lake, including those shown below, and released a fish about 33"-34" long. The lake trout are starting to move into shallower water - I caught all the fish between 100' and 140", except for a couple at 80'.

Nice fish Peter. Some people really no how to do retirement! Have you heard any news regarding the whitefish forecast?
