My good friend from work and I headed out to Albro Lake again on Sunday. Last week we were met with unfavorable circumstances when we were unable to find any fishable water due to snow and ice. This time around the weather was looking good and all of the ice had melted. We hit the lake at 7:30 in the morning and started casting at the south end of the lake (for anyone taking notes, thats the ‘beach’ just off Lancaster Drive). I had hoped that a few days of nice warm weather we had ealier in the week would cause the fish to be active, but this was not the case. The morning was frigid, and my fingertips were so cold I could barely open my tacklebox to change lures. We casted spinnerbaits, spoons, small Rapalas, and some plastic baits without a hit. We even tried a very slow presentation, but there were no takers. We headed to the northwest end of the lake and continued similar strategies in deeper water, still no action. We spotted several other fishermen on the opposite side of the lake, but they moved constantly and did not appear to be catching any fish either.
We drove past the north end of the lake on the highway earlier today and say a couple of fishermen pulling in what looked like a small trout (although it may have been a bass, they were fairly far away). The weather for the looks even better then last week, so we’ll be at it again pretty soon I’m sure, and hopefully we’ll have to photos of fish next time!
