Battling the wind to get trout

Had a tough time battling the wind up at Sweetwater recently with the GF. Tough thing was that we got there and the lake was a mirror with no wind at all. As soon as we got the kayak unstrapped and my pontoon blown up, it picked up heavy…love when that happens lol.

GF tried bank fishing for a bit, and I stayed in here general area…After being blown around non stop for about 30 minutes, I decided to hit the other end of the Lake. Luckily the trolling motor was a big help battling the wind to get over there. Wind was a lot calmer on the other side and we hit the creek mouth and found some really active trout! My GF gutted it out and took her little kayak against the wind to get over to me as well, almost flipped a few times getting back but she was ok lol.

Fun day of compromise but still landed a solid handful of fish before a storm ended our day. Hope you enjoy the video, if not enjoy the write up and the pictures

You’re really making me have to plan another trip out to Colorado sometime soon.

Stayed a couple nights at Black Canyon NP years ago. Early October, campground was empty despite the weather being pretty nice. Fished on the Gunnison right next to the campsite, amazing day and caught a few nice trout.

Haha it’s awesome out here and All of spring is a good time to go for trout! I’ve never fished that area but plan on it hopefully soon. I’ve seen pictures of the area and it looks amazing.
