REELY HOOKED
If you launch from C then trolling back and forth across the lake near the no wake buoys is often productive. Personally, I usually am trolling out over deep water. Keep your eyes peeled for rising fish a day troll wherever you see that.Thank you so much! Great information! I plan on putting in on the west side and fishing the shallower water.
I was thinking that shallow would be best since the water is colder this time of year. Maybe I will rethink my plan.If you launch from C then trolling back and forth across the lake near the no wake buoys is often productive. Personally, I usually am trolling out over deep water.

For what it's worth.....I don't know anything about Hagg and I rarely fish for trout anymore now that I don't have any little kids that fish with my anymore but we fished in the spring for years and I got tons of fish with my downriggers set at 7' and almost nothing if they were over 12'. Although I would mark fish much deeper, I almost never got bit when I fished that deep.I went yesterday and the water temp was 45. I got 1 bite after several hours, only saw 2 fish caught by the bankers. Not sure if it was weather, water temp, me. I also did not see any fish jump and the one i hooked was about 15 ft down. I was trolling the top.
The struggle was real for me and Hagg is usually nice to me.
I left my box of roster tails at home so I could not do the ole Bass special. The most surprising thing was not seeing them jumping in the evening. I also went well over an hour before i even marked my first fish. But once the sun started to set around 5:30 i starting marking fish at the mouth of Sain Creek. Just a weird day for me there.
I was out there Saturday also. I was with 4 other buddy's and we caught 4 out of 7 bites in 3.5 hours. Not great but the guy next to us caught a 19". We were kinda by ramp C at that beach area.Saturdays weather was great but no fish to report. I thought I knew how to catch trout. I should have left the boat home and fished from the bank, I will try again.
