Today was the first solid day I have seen this season for fishing the birds in Bay Au Fer. They were everywhere and yielded at least five trout in ever location.
Total count for the day:
10 keeps, all ranged between 16" and 20"
28 Tagged and released
11 of those tags where fish between 12" and 14"
Did not keep count but i would roughly say about 10 gafftops
Got my first double today as well. I use a shedog as my popping cork and landed a trout on the top water and the jig
Today I also landed three fish via the shedog, one of which was a keeper.
I never kept a trout under 14" as in my opinion there is not enough meat on those little guys.
