Last week we went out to Jordanelle on Tuesday evening. Jim and Parker joined me on the Fish Steeler for some rainbow fishing. We got to the lake and as usual the wind was moving the water from the Southwest with white caps. We decided to move into our pattern and give it a shot.
Fighting the wind and recreators for about an hour, we ended catching a couple but grew tired of the battle and moved into the narrows. We pulled up along the steep banks of the south side and got our lines in the water and within just a couple minutes I landed a nice Rainbow trout. The wind up against the bank was blocked and made for decent trolling and I didn't have to fight to keep the boat on track. We continued east along the bank for a distance and got a couple more hits and turned around went back through the stretch again, Jimmy and Parker landed one but then it shut off after a couple more passes we decided the wind had shut down enough to return to our favorite route. After returning we got a few hits and and Jimmy landed a nice Rainbow trout.
The bite turned off about sundown that is when we decided to pack it in for the evening. Great evening with the boys lots of fun stories and memories were relived. Got back to the dock and loaded up went to the cleaning station where we were watched by a youngster that couldn't make up his mind if it was okay or not that we were filleting the fish out. I think he understood after we showed him how to do it. We came home with a nice batch of fillets for the smoker and grill. No picks of the fish on this trip fighting the wind and wakes we forgot to take any.
