Got up to Lost Lake on Mt. Hood yesterday to beat the city heat (along with half of Portland it seemed...). Hit the water on the yaks around noon and there was lots of surface activity. I trolled a black bodied/silver blade rooster tail about 100 feet back and it did quite well. Lots of bites and drive-bys, but my conversion was less than stellar (I was also using barbless). The two rainbows I brought to net were in the 12" range and were ****** off/feisty little buggers. Activity all over the lake, although mostly closer to shore (even with all the splash and giggle crowd in full effect).
It was my first time at the lake and it is gorgeous. Great place to lounge and fish from the kayak.
