Yesterday morning I fished the lake for a couple of hours with mixed success. I never found a single fish in the shallow waters that were full of 12-14" fish 7-14 days ago. I did manage to land 4 pretty decent fish from the trees and smartweed beds in 4-8' of water.
I spent a couple of hours in the evening wading the shallows that had produced many fish recently. I again found the smaller fish had disappeared. However, it was a worthy two hours although I only had two strikes. The first fish measured 21.5" and was certainly 5 pounds plus. As I was working back to give up I caught another that was 20.5". This last fish jumped three times for there was nowhere else to go in the 2' depth. Neither fish was ready to spawn yet.
