Yup, good beer & friend are always a must when fishin'! We always hit it after the Sky closes, perfect time, water is warming and so is the fishing. Its as close to steelhead sized pray you can get in May without driving 200+ miles. I'm either in my drift boat(LOL) or my buddies 16ft lake sammy special half drift boat half Lake Sammy Slayer! We ALMOST always release em' unless fish sounds good for dinner. Its amazing there is a trophy cutt fishery 15minutes from downtown. How do you fish the rapalas? I quess you just flatline them. Maybe I'll see ya' on the water soon!
