Report Details
Trolled assorted smaller shad bodied crank baits primarily in 8-10 F.O.W. for the walleyes and 11-14 F.O.W. for salmon and trout, and had a great day. Caught 3 Salmon, all in the 8-10 pound size, 8 walleyes between 17-22", and a HUGE Rainbow Trout.

The trout measured 28.25 inches long. 10.75 inches back to belly, and weighed in at Scott's Bait and Tackle at 16.25 pounds!!!

The good fellows at Fiber Tech Reproductions are already at work making my replica mount, and this one is in the freezer.

Think I might have to go back again soon!

Not any for me personally, but we had several done at the resort I used to guide for, and many for customers over the years. All very happy with their mounts.

Fiber Tech is in Nisswa, Mn. if you're interested in looking them up.

Slow trolling #5 shad raps, both solid and jointed and KaBoom Winning Streaks. When I say slow, I was barely moving forward into the current about  1/4 - 1/2 mile or so below the landing. I just kept sliding the boat east and west between the sand bar and the east shoreline. Sometimes just holding in the same spot for a couple minutes at a time.

I honestly think moving slower into the current than any of the other boats that day made the difference for us. Also, this trout and the 3 salmon were all caught during mid day. As the sun got higher and brighter I switched most of my color selection to darker colors instead of bright colors. My thinking being that the darker profiles would be more visable in the brighter water. Don't know if it made a difference, but that was my thinking.
