Headed to Prien Lake

Caught a couple of small trout, lost one nice one right at the boat, and few reds just enough for dinner.

If you want to get revenge on those trashy lady fish......put one on a hook and throw it back out there and let a trout or red chase it.

Sometimes using a 3/8 oz jig head will allow your bait to be fished deeper and increase your chances of catching a trout or red. Or working the bait real fast has worked for me.
