That North Western trout fishing sounds great. I've never been that kind of trout fishing. Around here it's DNR raised into lake and all fished out in weeks. Like MrM420 says, mostly LM bass around here. Inland lakes and ponds. Maybe in another 2-3 weeks prespawn. Got my new lures, new line, Xmas new reel. I'm ready. Was out the last warm day couple of weeks ago. Nothing, not even a hit. But "if ya don't go fishing you can't catch fish". I have a bass story already to go. Going to maybe start new post fishing/hunting/smoking. Outside garden stuff happens end of May.
