Post by: whacker1 on March 17, 2009, 04:07:45 PM: We fished Lenice on the weekend of 3/7 - Windy as hell as it always is. My friends that fished Friday did well - 18 " rainbows, but they were pretty lethargic. We were only able to fish for a few hours on Saturday, because of the wind that picked up around 11 a.m. I caught a nice 18" rainbow that was extremely active, but no pics as it was right at dusk and I really needed to get out of my waders to piss. The beer was working full speed through my system while I had the fish on.

Post by: jackelope on March 18, 2009, 07:23:42 AM: enough of it is off to fish from the shore, which is where it's at right now. the very north or south ends of the lake....IMO the north end is where i'd be.
