Nice report and pictures. What were you trolling on the lead core?

octico · 08-31-2016, 02:02 PM

How did you do at Lake George? I do pretty good at the George.

Yea...what worked trolling with the lead line?
I have a small Scotty down rigger that I'll bring too.
Did you get any fish trolling Silver Lake?
Rapallas...?

So, a variety of things worked on the troll....Tasmanian Devils, rapalas, needlefish but the good ole Thomas Buyoant 1/4oz in red n gold was the winner. Caught more fish on that lure than anything else. Got some good strikes at Silver lake on the troll but didn't land any. Rush creek was a blast.

I did great at Lake George....the 3rd pic I posted with my PB was from George. I got a couple more that were similar in size that I released. They have been on a serious stocking rotation as late so the "catching" is good right now. Have fun up there!

Rock Creek lake is one of my favorites but I haven't been there in years

Where'd you stay... campgrounds, lodges?

A friend of mine owns a condo in Mammoth so I stayed there. I did see a lot of open spots for walk ups at the campgrounds though at Lake Mary and Lake George.
