Sounds almost exactly like my day. I started out at Echo Lake Park, saw maybe 15 trout caught by 30 or so anglers over 2.5 hours. I could only manage 3 small pickerel before I finally gave up. I swung by Franklin Lake just to see what was going on, I nailed a nice perch on a jerkbait, that was it. Left for home once the sleet started up heavy.

Here's a vid from Echo Lake, for those more interested in pickerel than trout:

But I won't be around at all, so don't even bother to call,
Cause on a day like today there's one place I gotta be:
