It was a fun trip, but wish we could have caught a few more and it would have also been nice to catch a few more larger fish.[/quote]
Isn't this what keeps us going back for more?
At Fish Lake, you really have to decide what you want, and then stick with it. If it's quantity over quality, then focus on the perch or troll for rainbow trout. The rainbow trout historically in Fish Lake don't get that big -- 17 - 18" is really about max.
if you want quality over quantity, then you have to expect to catch very few fish (maybe none) and hope for that trophy fish. Trolling big rapalas deep, or jigging deep. There are a lot of guys that troll all summer long looking for that 1 fish. They'll go days without any at all.
Middle of summer, it sounds like you did fairly well. If you want more splake (and lake trout) come back again this fall (September / October).
