I have this theory about spring lake trout.  The more extreme the weather, the more extreme the bite. Check out these great lake trout photos from angling friend Jeff (with Tom). They braved some nasty snowy weather in a canoe in their quest for spring trout. It paid off!

Strategically, these guys did not tell me where they caught these fish. However, judging by some of the landmarks along the shore and lake access, I would say a local Huntsville lake...

Get some pictures of your own spring trout and I would be happy to post them. I am getting information suggesting that the smelt are running and they attract big trout. Find where a smelt creek empties into your favourite lake - and hold on to your fishing rod.

The hardest part about fishing is waiting for the fish to bite. Most times, the fish don't have to show up for a fishing moment to be remembered. Fishing can be great because of the people your share the moment with.
