Congrats on all the great fish this spring. Jealous for sure but pleased to see it all. You are one of the bright spots on this forum.

You should probably get out fishing. Just saying!

Thanks for the kind words. I like posting pics and getting others motivated to get out and chase some fish.

This was my fifth trip, with the four previous trips being each 10 hour days of solid fishing. I was running out of tomato juice required to wash the skunk smell off.

Well, I’ve spent too many hours to count on this lake now. What do people use? I’ve tried spoons raps plugs spinners scuds leeches minnow patterns you name it. This lake is the bane of my existence now🤣

Brookies never did reproduce naturally, even though there was some rock and gravel on the east end. A Real pity.

If the reset was hard enough, and the perch are gone, perhaps wait a year and restock with some brookies, rainbows and tigers?

The Browns were hard to catch at the best of times.

A,.Splake! Wow, that is amazing. I wish we had some Lakes with Splake. Probably would need some lakes with deeper water. I've caught them before in Saskatchewan and I think they are my fav trout to eat.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's handling mortality. So many people are insistent on taking selfies with every single fish they catch. Then they use terrible handling techniques like sticking their fingers under the gill plate , lipping them or squeezing them like a nearly empty tube of toothpaste. Just because it's alive when you release it doesn't mean it won't be dead soon after you've manhandled the living hell out of it.

As I said earlier this happens every year and i hvae seen it right back to the 70s.
There is some winter kill in that lake plus their is a disease there that some fish die from.
