Morning trip to Echo..Fri, 5-30

[Jmorfish]

Thanks for that report Joe, sounds like a nice morning, with some good sized trout being caught. I think for trout fishing, it's a great idea, tipping lures with bait, although I rarely use worms but in the past when I did, it seems I did better. Did you by chance mark any groups of perch, near the bottom, while you were trolling?

Now thinking about it, I don't recall seeing any big groups marked on or near bottom..maybe we were too deep most of the time? Walleyes or bass eating the little ones? I know we'd see a lot of big group marks at Rockport, so IMO there is a difference between these 2 water bodies..I used to tie most of my own flies when I was fly fishing...now 'Garden Hackle' works really good..
