    Brad Dokken, Forum News Service|Jun 8, 2015

    RED LAKE INDIAN RESERVATION, Minn.--The tiny jig tipped with a piece of crawler barely had hit the bottom of the lake some 40 feet below when it got smacked by a rainbow trout. There was no guesswork; this fish meant business. As fishing trips go, they don't start much faster. There'd be plenty more of the same in the next four hours. On a lake we had mostly to ourselves. The fast start was no surprise to Daris Rosebear. A guide for Seven Clans Casino near Red Lake, Minn., Rosebear, 25, is used...
