Title: Lake Lawrence Thurston county
Post by: Norman89 on May 30, 2022, 08:22:11 PM: Recently moved further south into Yelm so time to try some new waters! About 4 miles from home we hit up the boat launch at lake Lawrence mid morning to soak some power eggs and came out with 9 beautiful bows, 6 of which were great color hold over fish from last year. Was both my son's first time catching trout from the bank and they had a great time. They approved of the new smoked trout recipe as well :chuckle:

Good to know there are bull frogs in the lake, I just tried frog legs for the first time last week and that was a tasty treat!

My boys got 10 more bottom rig and green power eggs doin work. Best fish of the day on a 2' ugly stick dock runner was 18" holdover. My 6 year old got that one and I could tell by the bend in the pole and the look on his face it was worth the evening trip and a late bed time
