I went out again on Sunday and floated from Policeman’s Flats down to Mackinnon Flats with just as good success as Saturday. I was still on the hunt for that 30 inch Brown Trout I’d been praying for on Saturday. I put the Berkley Frenzy back on the end of my line and casted away. My first fish was a 22 inch Rainbow I banged out on a slow corner. We slowed down just a little and I made a cast into the bank were the moving water was meeting with a calm deep pool. As we floated by I casted into the calm water and sure enough I had a large fish on but could not manage to land him. We were moving slowly enough that I re-casted into the same pool but this time he exploded into the Berkley and I reeled him into the boat. A 23 inch Rainbow Trout was a nice reward for a little intuition.
