Good Day On The Lake

[fat man 4,741]

My mate and myself went to my local lake today for a few hours fishing.The water was ideal for fishing with a nice breeze blowing to give a smallish wave.We started trolling up along what known as gelisans bay but not a lot happening there so moved down along the other shore where we started to get into some fish.My mate struck 1st with a nice brownie about 21/2 lb and within 20 min he was in again this time another brownie of 4lb.We trolled up and down and finially i was into a fish,another brown trout of about 2-3 lb,in the next hour or so my mate landed 2 more and myself 1 more,it got very cold then so we decided to call it a day,happy enough with 6 nice trout,Lough Lene is a very good trout lake and the water is clear as tap water.

You hit it at the right time Fatman, a mate was on it the day before and had one fish for his day and lost another, but he got it on a fly.

There was a competition on my local river yesterday and it was won with 3 brownies for over 10 lbs. Hard to believe there's such fish in a small river.

Out on the lake again today with my mate,we were on the water at about 10am and finished up at 2.30 with 10 nice brownies ranging from 2-31/2 lb so good day had again,lake fishing really well at the moment,reason we finished early was i was bringing in a fish and it went around the back of the boat and the line got wrapped around the propeller so it was a case of rowing back to shore and undoing the line from the engine.

Were you spinning Fatman or bait?
