Collins Lake - CA

Bob Chappell had three successful trips so far in December all down in front of campsite #60. His first day out he limited out in less than an hour. Two days later he caught another limit using yellow salmon eggs. Bob took a break, we can only assume, for trout tacos. Four days later he came back and landed an nice 5.5 pounder on Yellow Powerbait.

With a smile almost as big as the lunker in his grip, Davinci Garibaldi from Palermo showed off this brag worthy 7lb trout he caught using a worm and a marshmallow down by the beach.

Scott Harmen from Rancho Cordova caught an 8 1/2lb trout on pink Powerbait by the dam. Look at the jaw on that thing:
