11/26/2016 8:36:00 AMWelcome back to fishing, and thank you for the report.
Just a heads-up regarding Rattlesnake lake, it has gone back and forth past few years regarding the lake's regulations. Currently there is a 2 trout limit, with a slot restriction of 14" minimum size, as well as selective gear restrictions, which means the Kastmaster you have to swap out the treble to a single barbless. And of course you may have done all that, but just saying the regs at that lake have gone a bit back and forth since the steelhead plant.

11/30/2016 3:52:00 PMYou got it TMBob, (-: On the no bait, that means any bait at all, to include scent. Don't ever feel like this puts you at a disadvantage. There is so much fishing success to have without using bait.
