I fished Manzanita 2 1/2 hours on Sunday and 5 hours on Monday. Both days were VERY windy. Sunday was a complete bust. I had one fish on, a strike from a small fish, and one other possible hit. That was it.

I started at the lake at 10:00 on Monday hoping the winds had died down. Unfortunately, there was a front moving through that created winds as bad as the previous day. After three hours of fishing I had had no strikes. I decided to lengthen my tippet, add a split shot and cast out as far as I could. This changed my luck. In the next two hours I hooked six fish. I landed two 14 1/2" browns, a 15" rainbow and a 14" rainbow and had two ldr's. It was a tough day of fishing but at least I finished strong.
