An early week outing yielded some surprisingly good results. The ice was barely away from the shore enough to cast, but we decided to give it a try seeing that our previously planned destination was completely clogged with other anglers, and this lake was vacant. Fishing patiently, we didn't have to wait too long before we were rewarded with a nice 12" brook trout from right at the receding ice's edge. Renewed by this limited success, we settled in for a long wait. Just as the sun was setting, a pole came alive followed by another, then another and another! In 10 minutes time we landed four trout varying in size from 12-14". Heather was deemed the fishing champion since she caught the largest of the five fish measuring 14". It was beautiful evening for fishing, but a few people stopped by and after the stories make it around the coffee shops, I am sure elbow space will be at a premium.
