Got to the lake this morning around 7. There was no one out on the lake when we arrived but as soon as we got there a couple of people in different campgrounds saw us and made their way to their prams and small aluminum boats w/ electric motors.

It was the second time out fishing in my Fish-n-Dive and I felt a lot more comfortable standing up and casting (I think my Wii Fit board has trained me well).

I started out on the west end of the lake and started catching some nice fish right away with a black wooly bugger. My father-in-law was using a chartreuse wooly bugger and a midge trailer and he was doing well too but he said that he was catching mostly smaller 7"-8" trout. The fish averaged 11" to 12" with a few good-sized fish at 16"-17". I lost count at 7 fish but I'm sure I caught at least 25 fish in the 4 and a half hours I was there.

I gotta say, I wish I'd started fishing from a kayak 20 years ago.

I say that very same thing after every trip.   :)
