RV fishing 10.17.14 First Trout ever

[iraevski]

was fishing RV on Friday, trolling rapala J9 and spoons in around 40-50' water with leadcore and planer boards, about 2-3 colors (i am assuming 15-20' deep) hoping for some rainbow or brown trout.

caught my first trout ever (i just starting fishing for trout this year). was a really nice fight, nice 21" Laker. Catch and release. Was really surprised to catch a Laker only 20' deep. everyone was telling me that they usually hang out in over 80' deep water.

anyone else been trolling lately? only caught that one fish and lost one fish. perhaps I am fishing too close to the shore?
