Joeytier Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Team Mini-Lund is back together again at last...Specks and lakers were on the menu for today. With the late ice-out, I was expecting a most laker-filled day with the squaretails being a little sluggish, but boy was I wrong.Hit a culvert hole on a feeder stream on the way in, typically a 'one and done' spot. 10 minutes and 5 trout later we were content to get out in the boat.This system makes some beautiful fish...The early system pattern on this lake is pretty predictable...large bay in the north end which always holds the warmest water, hardware in the submerged timber and they were on big time. Everywhere you thought one might be, there was.All cookie cutters today, but it didn't matter.Eventually we overstayed our welcome, but thankfully this lakes also brimming with lake trout. Flatlined some cyclops and cleos in 20-40 fow and hit 6 lakers in short order. Bug-eaters in this lake it seems, they don't get big but they're very plentiful and purdy to look at...On the way out we couldn't resist the temptation and flung around a spinner in the stream again just to say goodbye...These fish push in from the lake for a quick meal in the spring so they're not small. Pretty cool to have 15" brookies smash your cleo in a stream you can spit across.Pretty excellent start to brookie season and things haven't even really started rolling yet. Still snow in the bush, ice on some lakes and the bugs are a ways away yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Killer day! I'm itching like you wouldn't believe to get out for some early season fish... a new baby within a week kind of makes it tough to get out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) So that what a Speckled Trout looks like. I'm not a trout guy and have yet to get a Brown or a Speckled Trout. They sure are gorgeous. That body of water looks magnificent. Sure beats trolling the back yard of an integrated steel plant and coal fired hydro plant. The scenery is what I miss most here on this inland sea called Erie. 360 degrees of nothing. Edited May 8, 2016 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishboy Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Fantastic report and beauty fish. I managed to get out 2 weekends ago, the ice had gone out on the Tuesday-boat in by Saturday. Nothing like lakers in 12 feet of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
