First time on this nice clear lake.
I quickly realized I forgot all my lures at home so I was stuck with digging up a couple of Salmon lures to try. I started out with the largest size gold Dick Nite. It was doing fine until I hooked a smaller one that was coming in across the surface.
Out of nowhere, about 10 feet in front of me, an Osprey swooped down and grabbed the fish I had on! The reel screamed for a second till I grabbed it and broke the line (didn't know what else to do). The Raptor with prey flew off above me, I said out loud "At least you could give my lure back!" A second later the lure came falling from the sky but about 20 feet away.

After the excitement, I put on my last lure, a pink and white Dick Nite. I was able to finish off my limit and head home. I really recommend this lake for those who are looking for decent stockers and don't mind crowds. The fish here are a little bigger than average.
I saw a lot of rookies out there that obviously have no idea that they are supposed to yield to non-motorized craft. My trolling pattern was go in any direction there are not boats, yet I still had to stop and reel in a couple of times because people would drive over my line. I did not fill out the hotspot because everyone was catching them everywhere I looked!
