The bite has picked up again after a few slower weeks of fishing. Several lunkers were landed at the lake with the biggest being 9 pounds. The weather is still on the warmer side and I believe most the bigger fish are still holding in deeper water. Soon it will be prime time for trophy trout season. The Ambush at the Lake Fishing Derby starts in a week on September 7th and runs until November 15th.

Since Salmon Eggs were one of the hot baits this week, I thought I'd give a quick summary of the four types of Balls of Fire eggs we carry from Pautzke Bait Co. The Green Label is Pautzke's original and is probably the most common to anglers. The size of the eggs may very slightly in each jar. The Premium or "Red Label" is very similar to the Green Label but they are larger eggs and are uniform in size. There are no fragments in the jar. Due to the fact the Premium egg is larger than our Green Label egg you'll only need to put one on the Salmon Egg hook, instead of two in most cases with the Green Label. The last two types we carry at the general store are the Gold and Silver Label. The Gold Label is a combination of the Premium egg but with glitter. The Silver Label is a combination of Green Label egg but with glitter. The glitter will help with added flash to attract and deceive larger trout. We sell all four of these Pautzke's Balls of Fire eggs at the Convict Lake General Store.
