2012 Spring Kenauk

5/11/2012

We tried to time the trip to Kenauk to take advantage of a few weeks after ice-out, avoid Cast and Blast which tends to blast out the trout and hopefully not freeze.   We also thought to allow the lakes to rest a little from the weekend by starting on a Tuesday and leaving on a Friday.  We mostly achieved what we strived for, however we hit some cold, rainy weather.  This worked well for those in Muskrat who fished Collins as Brook Trout like that kind of weather, even some howling wind.  They bit like crazy.  Average catch for the 6 participants was 25/day.  And the sizes were good too.  A few 20 inch trout were caught but most of the fish were 14-16 inches.  They had heavily stocked Collins a couple of years earlier.  It might have had something to do with the hatchery closing.  Hopefully, the hatchery will re=open this year as the fishing has not been as good there since it  closed.  Green Lake did not fish well at all.  The fishers who spent the time on the water were lucky to get 15 per day, some got very few.  Rough Lake was occupied on the previous weekend and they caught on average 10 per day per fisher.  They are pretty small at Rough, around 13 inches.  Grey Ghost, Hammill's Killers, Orange and Black WB were best at Collins and Bob Sheedy's Pheasant Tail Crayfish was my best fly there.  HK's and Olive Leeches best at Green.
