Hagg Lake Fishing Report

A friend and I decided to chase some trout around Hagg Lake yesterday.  We were on the water by 08:30.  I was getting bites almost immediately.   I missed the first couple but I finally made one stick.  I got it up to the boat and I had a heck of a time getting the hook out of it.  It hit the lure hard!  I got it on the stringer and reset and started trolling again.  Again I was getting hits almost immediately but I couldn't get them to stick.  I am beginning to think that maybe they are hitting the flasher set up.  I finally got another to the boat and on the stringer.  I ended up landing 4 nice rainbows within about 2 hours and I missed probably a half dozen others.  My buddy was not having as much luck as me so I gave him a number 5 rainbow Rapala and showed him how to get it set for flatlining and within 5 mins he had his first fish to the boat.  He missed probably another 3 before the winds started picking up and we had to get off the lake.  He was having a hard time in his kayak with the winds.  Within about 2 1/2 hours we ended up with 5 fish between us with a lot more missed.  Too bad our day was cut short by wind. 
I was using a Mack's flasher set (http://www.mackslure.com/item.php?p_ref=87) and a number 7 rainbow Rapala smeared with Bloody Tuna with a small sliding weight in front of the flasher rig to keep everything down.

Sounds like fun. I need to get back out there.

Yeah, it was a good time.  I should of posted beforehand that I was going out there so you could of gone with us.  They must have just stocked before we got there because the fish were dumb and hungry.
