My fishing buddy, John, and I headed to Camanche for our first visit of the year.

We trolled from 1000 to 1500, landing just five trout to 1½ pounds. The first came in open water near Hat, the rest came much later at a shallow point southeast of Little Hat Island.

Downriggers were unnecessary; we used one for about an hour and a half for zilch. All the fish took Firetiger Rapalas on the surface. We tried orange grubs, worms behind dodgers, and a few others. Only the Rapalas brought in the fish.

Maybe next time we can get into some bigger ones.
