| Trout | i'm catching some nice rainbows and a few browns on a small rapala in the morning and also swimming a white 1/16 ounce jig. the trout in the trophy area will also take pink or green micro jigs under a float and a zebra midge has also been very good. below the trophy are from fall creek down, the trout are biting very good on night crawlers or power baits. in the early morning you can catch them swimming a 1/16 ounce jig or little cleo spoon, in line spinners are also good in the mornings. |
