Mayfield Fishing


I caught this buet at 'Twin Lake'. The name is somewhat deceiving because there is actually only one lake, and the lake itself is quite small (I'm told there is a land bridge in the middle of the lake when it is low that gives rise to the 'Twin Lake' name). This is actually the closest fishing hole to our house (15 minutes) and is not known for stellar fishing. I have been several times and have caught a lot of fish ranging from 10" to 12". Last night I wasn't getting anything until this guy hit about 30 feet from the shore. He gave a great fight, jumping several times before I landed him. Final tally was a 2 lb 16" Rainbow. I've talked to several people today that say they have rarely seen a fish that big caught at Twin, and certainly not from the shore with a spinner. Again, this is from one of the worst fishing spots in Mayfield-- I love it!!

Thanks for the fish Mike! Don't know when to eat it. I was going to eat it tonight but it was still in the freezer. I'll need to remember to take it out let it thaw. I am looking forward in how it tastes, I'll let you know how it does.

Nice fish! I took a date to twin lake once..prolly one reason I never got many dates. Great way to weed out the bad ones though.
