Dan and Tom Hit Wallenpaupack Trifecta

Returning client Dan brought along his friend Tom for a trip on Lake Wallenpaupack with Legends Outdoors.  A very early start before sunrise was on the slate for this outing.  Calm waters early and an increasing wind with a crispness in the air was the sign of a minor cold front that faced this duo.  The first bite came early at around the 6:00 hour when a big walleye struck, was battled and landed starting the day off in a good way.  Confidence was high at this point before another fish hit and a slammer 15" perch was brought on board.  After moving about for a few more hours searching for their quarry another bone jarring strike occurred and Tom was into a solid fish on the end of his line.  After a long fought battle a brown trout that was over 8# was netted and brought aboard.  It was an exciting moment and anyone who knows the three most coveted fish of Lake Wallenpaupack is the walleye, brown trout and striped bass and the striper would be all they needed to catch the big three of Wayne County.  Moments later after the trout was landed another bite with high impact occurred and Dan set the hook into a solid fish.  A drag screaming skirmish would then take place between Dan and the unknown fish before it was played out into the net and a 12# striper was landed completing the trifecta.  After a few photos the winds continued to increase making it very difficult to present the offerings effectively and that would be the end of their opportunities for the day.  Dan and Tom had a great time and we look forward to seeing these friends back again for another outing.
