Was at Roche over the weekend.  Caught a decent number of trout but nothing too big.  Interestingly many of the trout we caught were coloured up and one was spitting roe everywhere.  I thought that Roche was full of Triploids (which I understand are sterile).  There must be a breeding population of rainbows at Roche as well.

Approximately 66% of the fish stocked into Roche are actually Diploid, each year it get 15000 diploid fish and 7500 triploid

"As for trolling leeches.  I find that trolling with a motor is much less effective then trolling by rowing.  This is due to the "jigging" effect you get from rowing as opposed to the constant motion of a trolling motor.  Be prepared when fishing this way as the takes can be vicious."


I agree with this advice, rowing imparts a much more realistic motion than motors, and is good exercise.
Rowing is like a constant retrieve with your fly never leaving the water.

Rowing, Generally the way that I like to fish.  One line always in the water, a little casting with the other.

Definitely no need to use the electric all the time.  I generally just use the electric to help handle the wind, or to get in/out quicker.

Although they dont spawn they still get colored as if they do.

Only boys get coloured.

"Female triploids are hormonally and functionally sterile (i.e. no development of functional oocytes (eggs), and no behaviour changes). Male triploids are sterile but still produce hormones that cause changes associated with maturation including deterioration of flesh quality, early mortality and the development of testes and other secondary sex characteristics. In addition, they demonstrate "false" spawning behaviour, including migration and interactions with other fish on the spawning beds regardless of their inability to reproduce.  This behavior can potentially displace wild functionally reproductive males, possibly reducing the fitness of the wild population."

I have been thinking about a motor for that use too, but definitely not for trolling.
