And the fishing was great. Nice rainbows weighed in. Eleven teams, the smallest number by far in the history of trout tournaments, at least out of our place. Water ran all day - about 3 units. Talking to some of the guy who fish today, this contest was fished in a very unique way. There were trout caught from Fall Creek all the way to Powersite and all points inbetween. I know people who caught - and weighed in - rainbows caught at Powersite and just below Fall Creek, caught around the Landing, Kanakuk’s Camp off Lakeshore Dr., down close to Bee Creek, Bull Creek, Cedar Point and further down. Heard of one nice rainbow caught close to Short Creek but the rest of the nicer rainbows were all caught down lake, from the Landing down. Most were caught on jigs but some were caught throwing or trolling rogues and casting spoons. Lots of dark males weighed in. If someone caught one, there were usually more in that school and they caught more than one. Big trout was a 1.94 rainbow caught by one of the Hawkins brothers… sorry I didn’t get which one it was. I’ll find out and post his first name. Had another rainbow at 1.92 - pretty close! First place - Byron Wheeler/Josh Wheeler - 9.38 Big rainbows - 1.94, 1.90. 1.80, 1.48, 1.40, 1.34, 1.24 … these were "big fish" from each bag. These are some of the best bags we’ve seen in years, but again, they’re finding these trout in completely different areas than in past years. It spreads the field, so to speak. Good fishing!! Great fellowship!!!!! Great bunch of guys, we’re honored.

What started out as a yucky day, ended a real nice, sunny winter day here on Taney.
