My First Lake Trout

[rsimms]

There are not too many places and ways I haven't fished in Tennessee... but downrigging for deepwater denizens was one of them. At least until Scott Lillie and Sam Simons hauled me along on an excellent adventure to Watauga Lake over the weekend.

What a great fish. And some fine table fare.

Great job and a lot of fun for sure. (And yes, very tasty)
I was trolling for rainbow trout up there a few years ago during the winter and caught a 4lb+ walleye, so you never know what you might catch up there.
Great place to fish and some beautiful scenery to boot!!
