Landlocks

Few of the landlocks landed after ice out. Still trying to figure out the pattern of these fish. Great fight, hope as I mentioned before F&G continues the program and increases the size limits. All fish released safely. The one on ice was only there for a few seconds to take the pic, swam away like a trooper. Sorry pics aren't better, don't like handling them if I can avoid it or taking them out of the water. Still trying to develop Chris and Justin's photography skills!

Duane locations I'll never post for obvious reasons even though most probably know this place. Not many to chose between! As far as lures, I've caught them on five different lures with a phoebe being the gold standard. Like most fisheries, devil is in the detail with these guys meaning conditions, timing, location, speed and depth of retrieve etc.. They turn on and off quickly so fishing from shore makes timing even more critical a factor. Figuring out those details is what makes it a lot of fun. Read up, there's a lot out there about their habits which helped shorten the learning curve. There a fun fish to catch and put up a scrappy fight.

All from shore.
