Irvine Lake Campout - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fished Irvine Lake this past Friday. As I pulled out of the driveway in Lake Forest temp read 37 degrees. I thought that's not so bad.

As I drove through the canyon the temp started dropping. When I reached the lake it was 29 degrees.

Spent the day trying to figure out this trout thing. Looks like I am going to need more practice (a lot more).

Ended up with one small trout about 3 p.m. on a trolled jointed floating fire tiger Rapala.

Two firsts that day... learned how to tie the Rapala knot and first fish on that lure.

The earlier picture was a little misleading as not all ingredients had been added. Here is the final product...
