The weather man finally predicted another dry day -- and some sun. Well it was a dry day and finally a little sun did came out. Anyway, I hitched up the small boat and headed for Benson Lake. Three trout anglers fishing from the shoreline and one boat out on the lake. The shoreline anglers had a few trout on stringers but I never talked with the trout fishermen out in the boat. It was overcast and a little windy as I launched. Mostly fished jigs. Fished almost the entire shoreline and had only one strike. Landed the fish, put it in a cooler of clean, cool water. It was weighed and measured for this report and was 16 1/2 inches and 2 pounds,11 ounces. Back at the boat ramp I had one of the trout anglers take a photo for me and released the fish. The trout anglers were amazed to see such a nice fish released. They had no idea that there was a slot restriction on bass. Anyway, only one strike, only one fish but overall a nice day on the water.
