There were a few people fishing there but had no clue what they were doing, using mice tails and 4 pound test, the bigger trout didnt want anything to do with their line and bait. the fog was extremely thick ( best trout fishing conditions) but it burnt off faster than i have ever seen, the bite slowed a lot after that but i managed to keep getting fish by changing jig colors and sizes... every1 would use the same color me and my buddy when they see us catching fish, the trout began to turn their nose to those colors, so we kept switching to darker natural colors. also around 12:00 i began to fish the lower water column which began to produce a few fish. all in all was a great day!!!
