March 3, Lake Stevens, Triplod Trout. It is truly great when the lures I tie work. I caught this dinner using a small nickel willow bladed safety pin spin with a 1/16 olive marabou jig. I seldom keep a catch, but these fish eat like a small salmon and dinner will be great. This fish was 22 inches and about 4 pounds. I used my light spinning rod and 6 Lb. line. He's bigger than my net so I used it to scoop him aboard. Yes that is my boat in the back ground. Fish on!

Back to my canoe and a local pond. It was a cool day. The local waters have not warmed enough for the vegetation to hardly break the surface. This 3 plus pound find was near a pair of dead stands in about 8 feet of water. The tackle was one of my off the wall ideas. Its a number 2 Colorado spin harness and a large magnum willow dress treble.

This is the setup that bagged the bass above. The two spins work at very low speed or can be burned on the surface. The inline spin is a brass bomber with a 1/16 ounce body.
Bass two taken two days later on April 8. Note the tackle. It's a variation on a theme from two days prior. This time I ganged to spin harnesses together. It works better that a two bladed spinner bait in that both blades spin. I had two strikes on this setup. One failed to hook up and this 3 pound lady didn't.
Just fun, sun, and a 7" Zoom trick worm. All taken on April 27. The guy on the right was a fish with big appetite. My bait was almost as large as he was. The others in this quartet are 2 to 4 pounds of fun. Hooked in the shade near the east bank.
