Anglers fishing with power baits are doing well, but anglers trolling streamer flies are also starting to catch many fish. Steve Mercure, Kirt Salvas and his two sons fished Wallum Lake on Sunday, April 13, and had fast action trolling lures just under the surface. More than 30 trout were brought to the net and released. It is great to see adults encouraging young fishermen to release trout back into the water.
