With summer fading into fall, the air and water temps are beginning to drop. We've had some cold nights as of late so I thought that I'd give some trout fishing a try. I hit the lake about 10:30 to give it time to warm up as it was a chilly 29 degrees overnight. Once on the water I quickly got my fish fish on and lost it just as quick. Before too long though I tied into and landed my first trout of the year. After that though, it turned into a pretty slow day overall. Bluebird skies and no wind is definitely not my favorite conditions for this fishing. After a few hours the wind picked up and so did the fishing. In the last hour I was on the water I landed 3 more Rainbows and lost several more. All in all on the day I went 4/9. The 4 fish I landed were all obviously this years stockers and they all were right around 14" long. Catching less that half the fish hooked is not too great by anyone's standards. I think I need to go back to the drawing board again and rethink my flies. I just don't seem to be getting hooks into enough of the biters.
