Clear Lake delivered in the end

Just got back from fishing Clear Lake from 10:30 to 1:35. First 2.5 hours were terrible. Then Lia, my young friend from PA caught 4 trout and a smallmouth along the west shore in 40 minutes - One blue gill much earlier. All the trout and the smallmouth were caught on a dark purplish balanced leech. I would slow the row, she would jig it up and boom. Nearly every time. Trout were dark, heavily speckled and in the 10-14" range.
