Les & Bev Nason & their friend Pat Rebello cleaned up on trout fishing as well. They are all seasoned veteran campers and have been coming every year during the spring for the awesome trout fishing.  Les told me he fished with PowerBait and worms and not on the bottom, he said they were trolling on the east side with that combo!

The Johnson Family Fishing Reunion didn’t bring in as many fish as they hoped (4 total) but they didn’t care one little bit cause they were having a ball.  The biggest trout weighed in at 2-3/4 lbs. and was hooked by Kara Johnson.

Hal & Ramona fished from shore for trout like they always do and stayed at it until they both limited out.  The big one on their stringer was a 2 pounder and their main bait was rainbow colored PowerBait.
