BUT SMITTY BEING THE COOL GUY THAT HE IS HE HOOKED ME UP WITH A BOAT ON THE HOUSE TWO DAYS IN A ROW, JERED I OWE YOU REAL GOOD NOW, GOT ON THE WATER AND STARTED TROLLING WASNT LONG AND MY POLE WAS NEARLY RIPPED OUT OF MY HAND, I GOT FOUR ON THE WAY TO THE BACK OF THE LAKE, BROWNIESNACTHER DIDNT GET ANY ON THE TROLL. WE GOT PASSED BY A BOAT HAULING TO THE BACK OF THE LAKE TURMNS OUT LATER IT WAS SMITTYS BRO, HIM AND HIS PAL WERE GETTING CRAZY ACTION. WE PARKED NEAR THE INLET AND IT WAS ON, ANYTHING I THRU IN THE WATER WAS HIT HARDLY BEFORE I COULD SET THE ROD DOWN, JOSH WAS TO BUSY DRINKING BEER TO KEEP UP WITH ME, DFG'S ALPERS BROWNS BROOKS AND ALOT OF CROSS BREEDS, IT WAS WIDE OPEN FOR THE THREE HOURS WE FISHED. THE NEXT DAY JOSH WORKED AT HYPER SPEED SO WE COULD BACK UP THE MOUNTAIN,HIT UP SMITTY FOR ANOTHER BOAT AND HE HOOKED ME UP AGAIN, HIT THE WATER AND TROLLED BACK TO THE BACK MOER ACTION FOR ME, THOMAS BOUYANTS THE FIRST DAY RAPALA BROWNTROUTS THE SECOND. GOT TO THE BACK BEACHED THE BOAT AND HIKED TO THE BACK BAY WERE THE CREEKS COME IN TO FIND JUST CREEKS, JOSH WENT DOWN TO ONE TO SEE HUNDREDS OF LITTLE RAINBOWS SWIMMING ALL OVER THE PLACE, TOOK PICS OF THE BACK, THEN HEADED BACK TO THE BOAT, MOVED OVER CLOSE TO THE CREEK WERE IT WAS GOING INTO THE LAKE,THIS TIME IT DIDNT MATTER WHAT YOU THRU INTO THE WATER IT WAS HIT IN A SECOND, THE BROWNS WANTED THE CRAWLERS ON THE BOTTOM, JOSH KEPT GETTING MALE TROUT THAT WERE SPOOGING ALL OVER HIM I WISHED I GOT A PIC OF THAT ,THEY WERE READY TO SPAWN AND THEY WERE VERY HUNGRY, I RAN OUT OF CRAWLERS THE FIRST DAY AND ALMOST THE SECOND, CRAWLERS AND CIRCLE HOOKS WERE THE HOT DEAL. I HAVENT CAUGHT THAT MANY FISH IN A LONG TIME THE BITE WAS FAR BEYOND WIDE OPEN, JOSH WAS FREAKING OUT AT THE FACT THE BAIT OR LURE HIT THE WATER AND IT WAS HIT, I EVEN TRIED EVER THING IN MY TROUT BACK PACK ,EVERY KIND OF BAIT MINI JIG YOU COULD THINK OF SPINNERS SPOONS IT WAS REALLY CRAZY, IF YOU GET A CHANCE YOU SHOULD GOT TO SOUTH LAKE AND PARCHERS IF YOU CAN THE FISHING IS THE BEST THAT A FISHERMAN COULD EVER DREAM OF, THANK YOU AGAIN SMITTY ,YOU WILL SEE ME VERY SOON , I CANT WAIT TO GET BACK UP THERE TROUTONLY
