Merrill Creek Res. 5/19:

[AndyS]

On anchor in 50 ft. of water by 7am. Dish rags are small lake trout, beach towels are big lake trout.

Got 6 dish rags today and 3 brown trout and 1 yellow perch. The one brown was a stocked broodstock around 5lbs. I think, it had a big jaw tag in it which I dropped over the side when I was releasing the trout.

Pushed 10 dozen saw bellies on 5 rods using small hooks and 4 and 6lb. test.
I guess it's time to retire the Damn Quick 110N, lost part of the handle.

Saw a guy at the ramp, he had an 8lb. beach towel.
