Got to the lake around 11:30. Windy is the keyword. I ran down to the far end of the lake thinking that, with the wind direction, it would be managable there. It was OK, but still a challenge. Casting...

Tough for me to make an accurate rating on today. My report is on Bass and I gave it a 3 star rating, but truth to the matter is, I never hooked a single bass.
If I had targeted Rainbow trout, the...
