Since duck season is finally over I decided to try a little early season trolling for cutts at fish lake. I've never fished it this early so I figured it would be a learning experience. I was right!

I arrived at noon to sunny skies, calm waters, and a surface temp between 41 and 42. There were a few fish rising, but not as many as later in the year. I started out trolling a green wedding ring. One pass around the lake, so I switched to pop gear with a pink wedding ring behind. I got 2 small bites on that, but no hard takers. I left at 1400.

I marked a lot of fish in the bottom third of the water column. I know they're out there, I just need to figure out how to catch them this early.

Hey Yooper - have ya ever fished this lake for bass. I fished it a few times and did manage to catch a few little ones.

@chrome: I was thinking that. As soon as the wind dies down around here I'm going to give that a try.
@Bob: I've never targeted the bass, but I've caught quite a few while fishing trout and perch. Nothing big, but I've seen some bruisers caught by those targeting them.
