    Dragged 3 out this am, and smoked.
    Released 12, all rainbows, one shabby jack, all the rest beautiful condition, all in no time.

    Again tomorrow, got to love these fresh run lake trout this time of year.

    Not so much- Grumpy cunts who own the place, (one idiot cut another’s line after tangled by the idiots own fish)…

    Not wrong, the place certainly has its quota of stale old buggers that think all the good pools belong to them.

    @wsm junkie, sure are mate. One absolute stocker of a brown , 25lb, was caught near the salmon farm just off the main drag a couple of days ago. Well worth a visit if you have the time.
