Feeding Frenzy while Trolling for Trout

Viet came back to TO this weekend and came up for some good trout fishing. Sandra and I left Viet's B-day get together late Friday night, picked up Leanne and got up to the cottage at around 3am. We got to sleep around 4am. With two hours sleep, I ventured out onto the lake. To say the fishing was hot would be an understatement. I hooked 10 fish, lost 6, but landed 4, within a 3 hour period. The new lures I was trying didn't have a hook that set well or stayed well. I went with a tried-and-true lure hook and the fish stayed on better. All the trout we caught were released promptly.

Totals for this weekend (all fish were released):

Cadman: 6
Leanne: 2
Viet: 2
Sandra: Hooked 2 but they escaped!




Viet joined us and was very anxious to get out on the water. So we did some fishing during the afternoon. It wasn't very productive - just one trout at around 2pm, which Leanne landed:



We got back out there in the evening after a short break, and the fishing picked up nicely:




On Sunday, one of Viet's fish regurgitated some of it's 'diet' in the net - turns out it was a minnow of some sort.... It was partially digested but noticed the vertical bars on the side, might be a smallmouth!
