lake Trout Question

[georged]

I landed a 5 lb trout on friday morning at approx. 150' down in Canandaigua lake on a Sutton 88. This laker had an open bleeding wound approx. 2" in diameter close to it's tail. Could this have been a lamprey mark?

It sounds like one but I don't fish Canandaigua. I don't hear much talk about lamperys on that lake. About 1/3 of the fish we catch out of Cayuga have marks like that but we've never caught one in Kueka that way.

if it was roundish in shape it probably was an eel mark. We do have them, although not nearly as bad as some places. I haven't seen one yet this year though with any marks on it.
