gardner lake Fishing Report

Half Day On Gardner Lake.

Tried to get to the lake at first light, but the sun keeps comming up earlier. I made it by 6:30 ish, and was fishing by 7. Did not manage a waleye, dont know if i ever will, but we had SMB, LMB, pickeral, and one 18" RAINBOW TROUT, in the boat. The first rainbow i have seen come in this year. The morning was very calm but the wind picked up a lot arond 11:30. It also was cold when we first hit the water but was in a T by the time we left. Dont know how much longer this will be a good lake, when all the powerboats and ski's show up, its a real pain.
