Finally put up the video of Thomas and I on Lake Ballinger doing some early Summer Rainbow Trout fishing.   We were up early and on the lake at sunrise, which I think is the best time to be fishing.   I think sunset is better time from a purely fishing aspect, but I like mornings because no one else is out and about!

If you aren’t familiar with the lake, it is a pretty good size urban lake on the border of King and Snohomish counties and is primarily fished for the stocked Rainbow Trout.  Word is that there are Bass and Perch in it too, but I have yet to see much proof of that.   We have a write up on it on our site at: http://fishingwithcliff.com/PlacesFished/Ballinger/index.htm

Nothing too fancy in the technique, just dragging some small floating and suspending plugs right along the surface.  Seems to work every time with the planters, at least at sunrise and sunset.  I think the cross lighting is key for this technique.  Too much light and they get blinded by the light, but just a little highlights the lure and they pound it!
