Do you ever get out into the Four Lakes area and try Medical , Silver, Williams or Badger? Last time I took my boys to Badger they caught 12 rainbows from shore. I don't keep any but it's still fun for them. I spend a lot of time on Silver fishing for muskie and have had good luck trolling wedding rings and stuff like that when the boys need to catch a fish. The browns there really like perch rapala's too.

10/2/2007 2:34:00 PMWe were out at West Medical about 2 to 3 weeks ago and caught quite a bit of trout. We took some home to eat, and they tasted muddy. That's why I like Rock, or Waitts. The deeper lakes don't make the fish taste muddy. But West Medical was fun. I think they are closed now though. My wife is in search of that big trophy trout. Like my big 8 lb. Brown I caught out at Clear Lake in 2005.
FISH ON!!!!

I used to troll with flies on lead line two to three colors. I would make a loop around Mallard Bay resort formerly Barber's Resort. I remember it would really piss off the dock fisherman ever time I would catch a fish out in front of the docks. The browns seemed a little more aggressive and would take a small flatfish on a regular basis.
