My personal best Smallie on a drop shot off the Wenberg County Park dock. About 4lbs, 20.5" fish. It was the only fish I landed that day, but worthwhile trip.

Decided I just couldn't do a 3am wake up to chase kokanee, so instead decided to meet my brother at Lake Goodwin and do a little trout fishing. The fish in Goodwin are usually fat, healthy, and fun. T...

First time on Goodwin for 2020. The lake has always been tough, but even more so since the stocking in the fall was cut off 2 years ago. 18,000 fish that used to get put in are now not.
While it wa...
