PineCountryHunter Report post Posted April 28 Heading up to Sunrise and Reservation lake Thursday to fish for the weekend. Anybody been up there and have a report of how the fishing has been. I am assuming it has been good and never really have problems getting on decent fish. Just curious how they are fishing with it being such an early warm spring?

BassSlayer Report post Posted 18 hours ago Just left from up there today. Fished Reservation and Hawley lakes. Very good fishing trolling almost anything Rapalas, spinners, crank baits, etc. They are in schools and you have to find them. In the morning they were shallow 8/10 feet and later out deeper offshore but still shallow in the water column. Good luck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BassSlayer Report post Posted 6 hours ago Average size was better than usual. 14 - 16 " with a few 18" and supper frisky jumping out of the water and going all over the place. Lots of fun. A group of 3 guys in a boat showed me pictures of a couple of 5- 8 pound browns they caught the day before and the day we were there. They were casting the bank line but unsure with what?
