So hit up the Mcleod lakes yesterday on my new Fish Kat float tube & had a pretty nice time kickin' around for the day, calm, not too hot, not too cold, just perfect... While I failed to hook into anything for more than a split second, my friend did a lot better on his pontoon boat, landing a 15"er & 2 smaller ones he let go. my wife fished off shore with still bait & crapped out unfortunately. Lots of Rainbows jumping, but not in schools, just all over the place, so it was hard to pin down exactly where they were, hard to pick a spot & head over, jump in one place, then a jump 50 yards away... A couple other people were catching off shore, but not enough to call it a good day. The most anyone kept was three around the 11" mark. I have heard this lake yields exceptionally well, not uncommon to catch ten & 5 of them keepers, but not so yesterday. Checked out little Mcleod but didn't lauch the tube. Was hoping to fish off shore for some monster pike I heard frequent this little (but deep) lake, but the water was way too high to cast anywhere into deep water, so did not even bother. Would probabaly need a boat for thios lake. That's it for now...
