Splake!

Recommended Posts

Had a mini-splake bonanza last week in the canoe. With low pressure and a stiff breeze I was hoping for an active spinner bite, and I definitely got it. Fishing a long narrow finger bay off a good sized trout lake, we were able to intercept 10 nice splake. Fish were easily patternable, with all but one fish coming off of large boudlers close to 10+ feet of water. A couple points held multiple fish. The 6 we took home were all between 10 and 16 inches, and had one fly out of my undersized brookie net that I would've pegged at 20+ inches. I know this lake holds much bigger splake, as most of these fish were more than likely spring stockers from this year, so I was wondering if anyone had any tips for pattering for some bigger fish?
