If you can, fish Monday. Fridays and weekends are total zoos that won't give you the chance to learn the lake a little. Plants are Thursdays when the lake is closed. Friday is the first open day after the plant, Saturday and Sunday when most people are off of work. There will be some talent there on Monday for you to watch and ask questions of.
Tip o' the day: learn to fish half a nightcrawler and fish it in tight to the shoreline. It will serve you well wherever you chase trout.
Good luck, please post up a report!
