2 beauties today, the second was a bit smaller and may have been a cutbow but he escaped my hand before I could get a decent look.

I was fortunate to spend the day at Carter Lake with my amazing girlfriend and my buddy, who I hadn't seen in about a year. We grilled and chilled and did some fishing from the kayaks. We only caught a couple rainbows but it was an absolutely perfect lake day. ⛰️ 🎣👌

Tried new water this morning. Lake was very murky. Managed to get one trout, no other bits. Through spinner, twoster tail, beetle spin, nothing. Saw several large carp in the shallow water guessing they have it all tucked up.
