Since I have never been to Stanley Lake prior to last week I cant tell you if this was a fluke. I did speak to the campground host before launching my boat and he said in the mornings the Mackinaw come into the shallows to feed on the planter rainbows. He also stated people were catching them deep on downriggers too. I do not have down riggers. I caught this fish within 30 minutes after arriving on the lack. It took nearly half an hour to land him because I had 4 pound test on my reel. We trolled the rest of the day and only caught one more fish which was a planted rainbow and we threw it back.
