We caught a few bass which made two evening meals.  We caught 4 other fish, namely, 18 inch northern, 32 inch, 11.7 pound trout, 27 inch, 6.7 pound trout and a 40 inch, 17.8 pound northern.  I lost one or two other fish.  ...  I think fishing in a future trip could be better because in 2005 I was still working on our fishing techniques.


Very nice. Impressive even.

I have to clarify one thing, however. On our trip, when we caught so few fish, we were primarily fishing for smallmouth and walleye -- not specifically going deep for trout with big lures or going after pike. We usually bring ultra-ultra-light tackle and concentrate on the former species instead of the latter.

And re: "the only car."

Lake was EMPTY, eh?

...probably a good thing, too, since the fishing season for lake trout ENDS by October 1st.

Well ... there is THAT. Heh heh.

I meant we're pretty one-dimensional fishermen. Light tackle, small lures.
