Default Merrill 5/23 Browns
Weather was just good enough to fish. Had my newbie buddy on the boat today slow trolling. First fish was the best. Fought him for a good 5 mins, drag screaming runs, 2 big jumps, then bulldogged me to the bottom. Got him close to the boat and it was a solid 30'brown super silvery. Newby went for the net way to early and doinked the line..heartbreaking. Waited out a thunderstorm for 30 mins and game on. First pic is 20" or so laker (hes lunch) pick 2 is 20"brown, pick 3- 24" about 4 lbs brown, Pic 4- 22" brown, pic-5 biggest landed 25"-5lb brown all released. Pic 3 and 4 had tags but we let them go fast didnt get the info. Had fish biting the whole time. You can see who were fishing for in the last pic lol. Gotta love the rain!!

Trolling very good this time of year , prior to thermo setting trout can range.

Lakers are kinda goofy looking as far as trout go... no nearly as pretty as browns & brookies. Congrats on the great day on the water!

They're goofing look trout because they're actually a Char.

Great job. I used to fish MC a lot, but never really tried trolling. Looks like you have it mastered.

I would think they taste better not charred.
