Freaking cold. That's what i was muttering to myself during the walk back to my house trying to get some blood back into my fingers which had gone numb. And that i refuse to stationary fish with worms or powerbait, so that my hands are constantly casting and reeling the spinners and spoons i was employing. None the less the familiar tug tug of a fish on was a welcome feeling ~ and what separates fishing from standing around looking like an idiot while people come up asking "are there fish in there??"

I snapped this pic just to back up what should be a obvious answer. The little bugger put up enough of a fight to draw some blood off his jaw. I sort of feeling bad that those treble hooks can hook up weird, but that being said, i've lost 2/4 trout this year on such "weird" hook ups. So that's just the way it goes.

Greenlake is fairly weedless at this time, so it's a good time for seeking out the shallows, and the brown trout imho are a better catch than the rainbows they will stock in the spring.

(released, with minor injury, witnessed by a cute little kid who'd obviously never seen a live fish b4)

Pika, just for clarification.... Very nice catch on the brown trout from Greenlake. They are beautiful fish, and nice to see in an urban lake like that. no worries. (-:

what is a good side to fish on greenlake when fishing from the shore. I usually fish on the west side by the park bench. Just wondering where other people have luck. I plan on going down there a couple times this week.

uuh, just a bit of advice, if your going to release the fish cradle it under its belly or hold it in the water, squeezing it like that is probably not the best idea if you want the fish to live/reproduce
