Good start Curt
With that lake being only 13 feet max, do you ever get any bigger size fish, like holdovers from a couple years ago or older? I generally assume there isn’t much chance of catching size on a lake like that unless it has very specific characteristics, like spring fed, abnormally cold water, for the stockers to have a decent life span.

Curious what your experience is.
This lake has a river at the far end so brookies come and go into have caught specks up to 4 lbs in this lake but have never seen any big splake.
