I had paddled the lake before and caught a few but knew with yesterday's conditions it would be perfect: and it paid off.
I was able to paddle the flats and find 3 really nice fish, one of them being my 2021 Oregon PB so far.
All 3 were cruising in the sun, but as I went to net the last one I didn't scoop low enough, and grabbed just the hook in the net, which immediately unhooked the fish. I have been thinking about a larger net, now might be the time.
5lbs 13oz
3lbs 6oz
Lost one was somewhere in between, it chased my bait down 3 times before comitting, and I saw it out of the water once as it jumped away from my net.
