My kiddo and I went to Trillium twice this weekend (long weekend, once on Thurs and once on Sat). Spent a total of ... hmm... 16 hrs there. Got there at 730AM one day and 630AM the next. For all that, no fish. Don't know what was going on, there were some people pulling in fish but very few. I'd say I saw a total of 5 fish come out on Saturday for about 30 people that were fishing from the southernmost tip of the lake. The boaters didn't seem to be having a lot of luck either, but we might've missed it. We tried plunking powerbait eggs, plunking powerbait paste and a worm on about 5 feet of line under a water bobber. Even tried a lure for a bit.
We (the people fishing) had a couple of theories about this.
One, the hatchery fish that had been put in earlier in the week -- Weds eve I think -- were still sluggish from the transistion.
Two, too damn hot. The water was pretty warm, easily warm enough for swimming.
Three, too bright, it was sunny all day and maybe the fish were hiding from predators. The osprey or hawk wasn't having any luck either.
You guys think the combo is enough to keep the fish sluggish and hiding out in the deep water? Pretty close to making a new rule at home: no fishing on days over 75 degrees. Or maybe only fishing at dusk/night on hot days.
