Last Fishing Trip of the Year!!

[Mikeps326]

Went fishing to round valley since last week stomach flu kept me home during a great warm winter. Got there around 7:30 and headed towards the north tower using the binsky! A couple guys were also using the binsky and having better luck then me and my cousin. Wind was the killer for my boat and thought we were going to have a horrible trip! So headed by the south tower, fished rangers cove and there were also a couple hunters around there so didn't want to get to close to them. I was so happy the wind stopped for 1 hr or 2 and I caught one 13 in rainbow in that cove took the binsky out while in the water took a pic and released it. Then drifted into 70 ft of water and caught a 15 in. laker no pic just let it go. Then after about 20 min missed about 2 and caught my biggest trout ever a 22 in lake trout biggest freshwater fish this yr. My cousin didn't catch nor have a hit till about 12 he caught 4 in a row and I missed what had to be a beast line was peeling out and was gonna tell my cousin to follow it with the boat but it popped off. Damn another one for a fishing story!! Cant wait to go back. All fish were released to get bigger! But I have a question are there wild lake trout in there? Out of all the lakers I've seen they were light colored this one had such amazing colors on him. Didn't take a pic though.

Nice man! I was out on Friday morning and got skunked, what color binsky were you using?

[Mikeps326]

I used gold and silver but I'm pretty sure I seen a guy use green and catch them also. Maybe friday morning was the day they weren't hungry, its weird.

Mike, your the man!!! I think you've earned the HARDCORE ANGLER !!!
recognition in my book and your cousin as well!!! You two guys haven't quit yet and still catching quality fish! On the open water too!

Tell me now, that this site wasn't the BEST THING you ever came across to become a better angler !!!

Your becoming a BIG DOG now!!!!

That's a beautiful laker.......

That is true. If I never would have bought a boat nor would I have fished any new places if I didn't find this website. Met great people and can't wait to learn new things and catch more new fish. So thank you all and can't wait to fish with a bunch of you guys again!!
