Mountain Lake Fishing...

Went fishing yesterday in a small mountain lake. Very warm day and was looking to catch some crappie and trout. I searched for the crappie in between large docks where it was shallow and filled with beds. I was hoping with the warm weather from the past few weeks, that they would have settled back to the beds in the sun- But i couldn't find them too quickly so i Left that spot. Then, on my friends 12 ft Jon Boat, we moved to the mouth or the river that feeds into the small lake. This water is freezing due to the snow melting in it up the mountain. We found some good sized trout and caught them by twitching a worm "drop-shot" rigged. Also, had some results off of a yellow 1/8 rooster tail. Caught all these at the mouth of the small river which feeds into the lake- most of the hits near the bank of the river where there was a 10 foot drop-off. The rainbow trout were all about 16 inches, 1-3 pounds. Not bad for an hour of afternoon fun. Until next time, Tight lines.
