Madison Contly LK Trout 30 Dec 18

[Bob D]

Well, after all the kids left to go home and back to school this morning the wife and I decided to give the Madison County LK Trout hole a try this afternoon. They have stocked some real nice fish in there this year. It was fun to get out and catch a few. We managed to catch our 8 fish in about 2 hours. Power bait floated 24" off the bottom on 2lbs test leaders with size 14 hooks were working great.

I've never, ever caught a trout. I need to give that a try.

I should have tried the trout pond. I got skunked on the main lake today.

Great job, I need to give it a try.

It's a put and take fishery. The water is only cold enough to hold the trout Nov-Feb. They stock late Nov and open the day after Thanksgiving and go thru the end of Feb. They charge $5 to fish for trout and you get to keep 4 trout per day. Those 8 fish today weighed 6.5 lbs. Use the lightest tackle you can handle. I use 2-6 main line and 2-for leaders.

Good job Bob! Those will eat good!

great report ....a super tiny jig worked under a float is another way to catch them...….

Nice Haul! I am planning on a trip down there in early Feb to spend some time with my dad and do some trout fishing at the lake. We love fishing there!
