Island Lake Geting Smoked

The best of times are when everything comes together and you have a great day. For the short period that i have been a born again fisherman i think i have more than my fare share, but there are still those days when you dont figure them out, or you find out why you had shifted to a different line or technique. Today's conditions were different than what i most often fish, the sun was out and the sky was blue as i have ever seen it here for Washington. I also was fishing with 10lb test while previously i had been using 6. Most of my catches lately have been trout, and the density of bass in my area is low. I will never again, (if i remember) go without a spinning rod with lite line. I bought 1500 yards of fluorocarbon and have yet to spool any up. I will load up in the morning to make sure i am good to go. There were some nice fish being caught today, several three pound or better taken on worms and dough. I cannot bring myself to sit and be bored.
