Yesterday, same lure / same place: Caught & kept a 23” brown (very skinny).

Had another on but lost it. Saw some trout in the shallows.

Whata ya think?? One of those spring club stockies??thats havin a hard time with food options over there??It just seams that the bows in those club stockings of breaders do much better than the breeder browns do....The last time i saw quality browns there it was obvious that they were long time holdovers, probably stocked at ten inches er so and had more time with less need for ALOT of food which then gave them more time to figure out the food options??maybe??

ahh wtf do i know?just a half arse theory

The brown didn’t have a jaw tag.

And yes, the rainbows are all nice & chubby as their forage is invertebrates & fish.

Because browns mostly eat other fish, they lose weight in that forage fish sparse reservoir.

Hey mark, what time of day are you fishing?

Saturday, caught (Yo Zuri Magnet Minnow) & kept an RVTA tagged Trophy Rainbow Trout. Nice fish,........about 24", jumped once.

Otherwise, been catching & releasing a few short rainbows.

My usual wading trek along the eastern shore.

Nice work and consistent for sure. Rain in the forecast but you're motivating me - will see if I can escape in the very near future.

frustrating day thursday, fished entire day, tried all the usual spots, trolled the whole shoreline, no bites. free boat ride for anyone who wants to show me what i'm doing wrong, haha.

the birds were busy... the pair of bald eagles were out fishing and there were about a thousand mallards hanging out in the middle. and 10k+ snow geese that came in at dusk.

also, no f'n way RVR is freezing over this year... the water was still 46° on top even after all that cold we had at the beginning of the week!
