Only had an hour to fish on our way home from church camp. They stocked the lake recently and the stockers are a nuisance when bait fishing. We caught at least 20 stockers, but eventually got a couple nice rainbows. All C&R as we are blessed with no space in any of our freezers. Nothing bit the lures today, wasn't for a lack of effort though. God is good!

Snow is holding off but the trout are still being picky, just one to the net today.
