GREENVILLE, SC -- Russ Reynolds of Walhalla, South Carolina, won the 1st annual JocasseeReports.com trout fishing tournament held on Lake Jocassee Saturday, May 2nd 2009 with a 3-fish limit weighing 13 pounds and 5 ounces. Reynolds, a top local fishing guide on Lake Jocassee, won the tournament by trolling a #3 Badcreek Spoon in Rainbow Trout color on 8-pound test line 35-feet below the surface using Walker downriggers.
"The trout fishing on Lake Jocassee has been unbelievable the past few weeks - I expect the trend to continue all summer. The best trout fishing of the year on Jocassee is between April and October", said Reynolds.
"The water-level on Jocassee is back up, and the trout are larger and more aggressive compared to recent years", he went on to say.
Several other competitors brought heavy fish to the weigh-in scales, but none could top Reynolds, who has been fishing Lake Jocassee since the late 1970's. Russ was fishing the tournament with his wife Cindy, and their two bassett hounds, Vinnie and Louie.
Special thanks goes to JocasseeReports.com for running a great tournament, as well as Devil's Fork State Park for hosting the event.
