Troutin Man

Hi all. Hope you are doing well. I have a little report on GVL.
I went up after a half work day and got up ther around 11:30am. Hit the south shore and 1 person caught using power bait. It was a real slow day. I eventually caught one trout at 3pm. It was less than a pound. Amazing isn't it? So i went to talk to the lake manager and he said it's been slow for a few weeks. Lots of fishing pressure and winds playing havoc.
I decided to get a boat cuz shore fishing sucked big time. so far i have only seen 2 fish caught...including my dinker. tied my rowboat to the little buoy near the dam. Threw jigs, thomas buoyants, rooster tails, and a super duper. then I tried drop shotting some trout worms. i even c-rigged a mice tail. not a nibble. so i trolled to the east side of the lake, set the anchor and threw out meal worms. nothing. Then i tied up a jig and attached a meal worm as the tail. nothing again. Rowed back to the very middle of the lake and threw a meal worm jig. Caught a crappie!!! Whoopee!
It was nice to be out there though...So important info for next week:
There is lots of algae. manager said that there was an algae bloom last week or 2. they are going to put chemicals in the water next week on Tuesday or Wednesday to kill off the algae. this will probably kill the bite (what's left of it) once they start treating the water.
I try once in awhile to pay at GVL in the hopes of action (sounds like prostitution), but sucks that the lake made all that money today and only 2 were seen caught all day! I say hit up jenks, BBL, or gregory. GVL is suckin' it up and with the chemicals next week...well next week should really suck.
