Went back to my local splake lake and managed one fish but a good one....maybe the one I lost last time. This was caught on Phil Rowley's Double Bunny with some modifications (of course) to make it more of a minnow pattern than a leech.
It gave me a couple of runs. I didn't take it out of the soft rubber net so I didn't measure it (nor weigh it) but probably around 19" (length of my net) and perhaps 4 pounds. Look at the shoulders! Much thicker than a Rainbow of the similar size.
A shore fisher said he could see them close to the shore feeding on minnows. The ST is 55F which is ideal. Bundle up and get out fishing!
