Spent 5 days on a camping, fishing and pleasure boat outing at Gillette, Thomas, Heritage, and Sherry Lakes. Fishing was fair once we established the hot spots mostly in Thomas just off the docks along the north east side, across the north west corner and south for 200 yards. Most were caught and released with a few bigger keepers plus several smaller fish gut hooked and/or bleeding. Most were caught trolling wedding rings and spinners I build tipped with night crawlers, pink maggots, or streamer flies (Tied by Ron Conti of Calgary, AB) tipped with pink maggots. Our usual spot for trout is Lake Sherry but the PWC types were running hot and heavy and fishing there was not good at all.
My son-in-law and I went partners on a 19' 1991 BlueWater 4.3 Mercruiser and had a good time slow-cruising the lakes with the family...it can get up and move too! We used it for trolling and thought it a bit fast even at idle but that did not seem to be problem for the fish...plenty of strikes in the hot spots when the bite was on.
Our next and final big outing for the year will probably be at Curlew in Sept. with several smaller outings between now and the season closure.

Looks like you had a great time. Of course that's what it's all about! This year has been different for myself, but will make up for what I missed next season!
