Post by: huntergreg on March 24, 2012, 08:29:08 PM: Well it was a nice day on the water Friday. Lots of people bank fishing, 5 boats and 6 people on inflatable pontoons. We ended up with a total of 32 trout. We only kept a few of the bigger fish. The biggest fish was only 13in. Lots of them around 10-12. Just about everything we pulled behind the boat worked. Flies were the ticket though. One guy we talked to got a 20 incher on a fly rod. Thanks for the info guys.

Have you ever caught any musky there? I have seen a few dead ones on the bank but never got one.
