I arrived at Martha lake (wb) today around 11:00 am, my target; German brown trout. I started off using a gold CD5 rapala, 3Rd cast in I get a violent strike, but I missed the hook set.. I continued casting and casting working a sort of fan pattern from the boat launch, no hits after 30 mins, so I switched to a panther Martin size 4, green yellow and red. Casted that for a while in vein. I tried power bait but it didn't do the trick. I switched to a brook trout colored cd5 rapala, I got a mother massive hit, this time I got him on, after a few head shakes my reel starts burning out line, I coax it around and it jumped, shaking the hook in the process, I was devastated, it was a solid fish for sure, then no hits again for a while, after a couple hours of fishing, having not landed one, I left to get on the bus, I got there and saw I had another hour to kill so I fished along side the road I tried the panther Martin, no luck, then I tried a gold castmaster, 2 cast later wham, solid hookset and landed, nice 14" brown. The action wasn't hot, but I had fun, shortly after catching the fish I left, weather was cloudy rainy but no wind, fish surfaced very infrequently throughout the day. Temp wasn't too cold though even in the rain.
