This was my first trip here since being skunked there a year and a half ago. It was better than that day, but not by much. I launched around 6:30am, Steve about 7:15. We finished at noon. I finished with 6 spotties, Steve had 3. He also had big fish, 2.2#, weighed by DFG during interview. My bigest was maybe 1.75#. Started with three right off, plus a few dumped and some I just plain swung too late. Too bad Steve was stuck in traffic (yes, 5:30am and traffic), this was the best bite all day. They were eating pretty steady the first 30min. then it died. I went 3 or 4 hours before I found my other 3, and these were one right after the other also. Steve caught 2 right off, then he caught his third about the same time I was catching my last ones.
The good news is that my first three spotties were on a freakbait I designed and poured. The last three were on a 9" grub I also poured. 5 of the fish ate the motor oil/red and green flake. The 6th one which I caught first ate a purple/ red and multi flake. I actually was happier about catching fish on a bait I designed than I ever was about catching on a rod I built. I know I need to tweak the bait though, and I definitely need more colors. Only 2 tried thus far, the motor oil and the purple. Once I get a finished version I'll post some pics.
Brian, maybe a trade? Freaks for a trout?

Ed-hog, yeah that's good. Amish Freak might get me in legal trouble. Hopefully I'll have a new working version of mine by next Sat. I know what it needs, but doing it is something different. I'm still trying to work out a trip up your way too, I was getting ready to call you. Then my wife informed me we had plans for the weekend I was thinking of. Ugh. Glad your art skills translate to wood, I've been wondering if it helped. Caught any fish on your trout? Have you even fished one yet, or is it all trials so far?
