With the lake calm my buddy and I took advantage and took the kids out trolling. Set up south of the piers aways in 100 feet, marked a decent amount between 95 and 110, which is the only area we fished since we only had a couple hours before the kids had to head in for nap. Went 2/2 with a PR steelhead (33 inches and 15 pounds) on a 7 color with a mag moonshine RV watermelon, and a small laker on a rigger down 90 on a spoon, forget which

Kids had a blast and took turns trying to reel the fish in, although the steelhead fight was so long that after awhile they got bored until it was time to net it


 

That’s a big fish, thanks for the report.

Oh and forgot, didn't mark much for bait at all, but the steelhead was packed with alewife of various sizes, plus a bird feather.  Lake trout stomach was empty

Thank you for this information 

Nice work Ben. Awesome steelie! Thanks for the report. 

Great work getting the kids a nice steelie!

Nice fish thanks for the report !

Thanks for the report Ben

Beautiful photo!  Don't bother entering it in any of  my ugly photo contests!  

Nice fish!  Caught one around 10 lbs on Saturday that had a whole bird and about a thousand flies in it.  Bird was pretty well digested, but bones and feathers were intact.  Surprised it was able to catch a bird with a relatively small mouth.
