Is this common in the winter on Squam, a 6" Rainbow ? I've never seen one that small even just after Spring stocking ??? Seems like most of the spring Bows were just about legal size at the end of September.

Replying to:

Was out yesterday on big Squam. Had a couple of hits and had a short (6") rainbow.
The ice was about 12' thick.

It may have been 8-10" but very short and fat. This is the first time I've cought one on Squam. but have just started fishing Squam 2 years ago, and last year there was open waters.
