Well...Fred.... not sure where you got the idea that it was 'a young lady'.... have known several people named "Tristan", mostly through my daughter and helping with Boy Scouts, absolutely all have been male !
I suppose there could be some female "Tristans" out there, but let's not run off what may be our youngest member, by making any assumptions, either way.

But hey, now that I think about it, an acquaintance that owns women's apparel shop in Ashland, goes by Fred or Freddie......HER name is Fredericka, so..........???

The simplest way to catch Trout, stocked I presume, is Powerbait. Either ON the bottom with a sinker, or below a bobber, set depending on the depth of the water.
Bass will hit all the lures mentioned earlier, but one of the simplest setups is a Texas Rigged unweighted "Senko" style stick worm,on a 4/0 EWG worm hook. I use Yum Dingers, in Green Pumpkin, Watermelon with red flake, or my most recent favorite, June Bug. With the hook point buried in the worm it's weedless, and with no weight it sinks slowly. Let it sink to the bottom, twitch it a few times, give it a couple cranks and repeat. Keep your line tight, and feel for one to pick up the worm, when you feel weight , set the hook. Good luck, and don't forget to post pictures of your catch, the lake or whatever. We love pictures! Tight Lines!

Well, Fred knows a female Tristan, so what do I know ?
My Dad's best friend was a big burley guy named Carroll.
And as Maxx pointed out......my ex-wife and I had a blast showing a VHS tape of "Airplane !" to her dad "S.L."......whose given name was Shirley Lee ! His father was "Shirley Bryce" !! My exFIL thought that line "and don't call me..." was hilarious and said "where was Leslie Nielsen when I was a kid , huh ?" And there's another "either way" name.... Leslie.
Of course the most prominent (and cause for questions, after the movie) "either" name for me was always "Ashley", as in Ashely Wilkes in "Gone With the Wind". I remember giggling in the movie house that played "oldies", that my Grandmother had taken us to, and got pinched on the arm by her & told to "shush now, I'll explain later". She knew that I had a crush on a little girl in my class named Ashley !

Well Tristan, sorry we stole your thread to discuss your name rather than your fishing questions, but it happens. Here on the forum, get used to the thread "straying" from its original topic, again, sorry.

I looked up your Lake Brydenburgh and it appears to be only 6' deep, so not sure what fishing opportunities might be, this time of year.
Good luck, & welcome to the forum of easily distracted folks !
