Thanks! Anyways, what are some good baits for rainbow trout in Winter? I know the basic baits but i dont know which one works specially well in winter.
-
im not an expert at bait fishing for trout, but i think powerbait and single eggs, they work good for me anyways ;D
-
catch anything ?
-
No actaully. I watned to go this Sunday but my mom wouldnt gimme a ride so im prob going next week. Anyone wanna meet me up with me there?
-
i got a couple bites at Green Timbers but today but couldnt hook them quick enough. ;D
-

Berkley powerbait's been pretty productive.

yea, and one jar will last you a couple trips ;D

Oh cool. I used the worm whole time and i used powerbait salmon eggs for last 20 min but didnt get anything. What coulour powerbait did you use with what rig?
-
are you all talking about fishing at Green Timbers ? or is there other locations involved here ? :-\
at GT when i fished powerbait i found that the bright green and orange colours worked best but of course some days they really love pink LOL green is still the best producer i think. Try taking some shrimp with you and tossing one onto the hook, I hear they work ;)
with all this warm weather we have you could probably fool those dumb fish with flies as well
-
Ye.. Im talking about Mill Lake. I have Chartuse and Pink powerbait and i have Pink Salmon Egg Powebait. I should buy some more colours of powebaits.. So many to chose from though.

I used to do good at Mill lake when I was a kid (about 12-15 years ago) using power bait off the bottom. Just to the right of the boat launch by the parking lot on north side. One time I hooked a monster that came out of the water my jaw dropped and then my line snapped :'( It looked like a salmon. I haven't fished there for years, but last year I went there to check it out as I live 10 minute drive away, and I noticed some big bomber chirony shucks floating around.
-
OH... Really? Thakns for the info. I'll try the right side of the boat lunch. You mean the boat launch beside the dock(not the walking bridge or whatever) right? I'll try there out.
-
yeah. it was a long time ago last I fished there, but I don't see why it would've changed. I used to just cast out and put rod in rod holder and wait. I'd suggest a sliding wait system. Cast out and reel in abit so the wait is against the swivel (put a small bead inbetween weight and swivel, then tie leader to hook) Nowadays I'm more into flies, haven't used power bait in eons.
-
Ye i might start flyfishing too. It looks really fun. I might just do both. Or do you use flies on a normal rod? ???

ssd, I first started using flies on a spinning rod when I was a little kid. I would simply put on an "adjusta bobber" then tie on your fly of choice! Adjusta bobbers work pretty good, too. you can add some water to the bobber to allow for further casting distances. Use light gear and light line. 4 lb test for trout is fine, 6 lb is good too. an advantes to this system is on creeks or places where fly rods require room to back cast isn't needed with the adjusta bobber spinning rod setup. I wouldn't suggest this method when using a heavy rod/line...kinda defeats the purpose imo. using flies with this syetm is fun and is a good was to introduce yourslef to using flies. try maybe a royal coachman. and reel slowly. maybe 6 feet between bobber and fly, but experiment, its an easy setup. careful when casting aswell, tangles can happen easily if you're not careful.

Try threading the adjust-a-bubble on upside down. It will create less wake when reeling in.

I love fishing this method on Rice Lake with black micro-leaches. It`s a fun way to fish and it`s really affective!
