On the water: 7:30am
Off the water: 3:00pm
Water temp: 52
Water visibility: clear
The bite at SARL is red hot! I decided to go fishing on sunday to avoid saturday's tournament crowd. There were still a ton of fish in the lake! I caught most of my fish on the dropshot (2 foot leader and #5 split shot). I was using trout king worms in white and pink. The trout in SARL sure do fight hard! Even the little 1-pounders will peel a lot of drag if you're using 2 pound test. I had to switch to my other rod with 4-pound test because every time I caught a fish on the rod with the 2-pound test my line would be all twisted from the drag peeling
Biggest trout I caught was about a 3 pounder. The wind got a little annoying at times but not too bad. There were plenty of float tubers there. Overall a very light crowd though for a sunday. If you're bait fishing use a long leader because the water's very clear. Go get em!
