American Lake 4-15-13
I arrived at American lake close to 11am and first trout was in the boat about 11:30 on the south side of the island just about Bill’s Boathouse area. Around 13 foot down. It was on the Dick Nite Chrome Clown with Wannafish A Lure Squiddy Thank Yellow w/silver blade. Next, 12:20pm, I was east of the island and the bottom rod...oh yes I have 2 pole endorsement, stacking on the downrigger. Bottom rod with the Dick Nite Pink Splatter and Wannafish A Lure Pink Splatter Squddy Thing comes up from 23 feet down with a 11 inch kokanee on. First one this year for me! Then heading west towards the launch going north of the island I get the last trout on Bahama Mama dodger with a small Wannafish A Lure Bloody Mary w/silver blade. Nothing else wanted my lures all the way back to the launch.
Corn with Berkley Maggots were on the hook. Pink for the red and pink lures with green on the yellow.
I took the water temperature at 15 foot down about 12:30 and it said 51 degrees. The weather was cloudy with portions of blue sky and it got warm enough for me to take my coat off twice. There was a slight breeze part of the time but the wind started to come up as I was leaving at 2:30pm.
