The bite was on !

Post by spider316 »

So we headed to a lake that is literally a "kettle pond". Just a deep hole overall to 50' with very little gradual shallowness. I love trolling streamers on a sinking line with a fly rod and we use Martin 72R reels. It's a reel that has a drag system and a 3:1 ratio tetrieve. Started trolling at 7AM and finished at 1030AM. We landed 15 at the net and killed 9. Basically 14-18 inch rainbows. All headed to a brine tonight and smoker tomorrow for a Father's Day brunch. Gonna use apple/cherry for a sweeter flavor. Stay healthy and safe everyone, enjoy ! :old_glory:
