I finally got to fish my home lake of Bridgeport Reservoir this morning after I fished Gull Lake yesterday for the Trout Opener. I ended up catching and releasing 20 rainbow trout this morning with a 5lb kicker, which I kept! It was a beautiful day in the morning. Not as cold as the high 20s we had at Gull Lake yesterday! LOL! All of my fish were caught on Character Lure spoons which I used at Gull Lake too.
After cleaning and filleting the trout, I ended up giving them to co-workers at the RV camp I work at in Bridgeport (Paradise Shores RV Camp). One of the ladies that I work with said she will make ceviche with the trout I gave her!!! Awesome! She will bring some over when it is ready :-) All in all, another awesome day!

My first fish this morning. Most of the fish were this size.
