Captain Jack Lopez, and Tony Machado and Lonnie Preader used worms & Uncle Larry’s or mig Wobblers and caught 14 trout all over the lake.  Perhaps the sweetest catch of all was Fred Libby and his great granddaughter Trinity Upton, she caught her 1st fish, a beautiful trout as they were coming in and thought they were going to get skunked!!

Doug Clark & the Trejo boys had a ball fishing the Fish Sniffer derby.  Doug won the kayak and they all caught fish and placed somewhere in the line of winners, using their infamous Mooselock Wobblers and trolling down 20′.  The Schmidt and Hemmer families caught some nice trout, their biggest a 5 lb. 8 oz. and they trolled with Rapalas too.
