Five Pound Trout

Hello, fishers! (politically correct term) Last summer my four-year-old granddaughter, Ruby, caught a four-pound rainbow trout at Green Lake, in Seattle. Much bigger than any trout I had ever caught before. Iwas kind of jealous. I had to go and out-do her this winter at Beaver Lake, a few miles from the house. Sparkle Rainbow Power Bait was the trick with slip sinker, 3 feet of 4-lb test leader! (scary) Only two bites in five hours of fishing, but worth it. Notice how bright the stripe is on the native rainbow. More like a steelhead. I was shaking when I had to net it by myself and feared if I lost it no one would believe me on the size. Size does mater! May your fish all be big ones! To see the BIG ONE that didn't get away, look at the Photo in my Complete Profile.
