Trout Season Opening

This Saturday, April 3rd, is the opening of trout season for our area. With predicted gorgeous weather and the holiday weekend, expect the streams to be packed. If you know of any hidden holes that may not get stocked as well as the big well-know holes, they may be your best bet.

Also, these past few rainstorms dumped about 3-5 inches of rain depending on your section onto already saturated ground, so expect the creeks to be extremely high! Consider a possible change in your presentations to adapt to this. If you weren't planning on using natural bait-then switch. Sight fishing is going to be out of the question in most streams and creeks, but not so much in the lakes. Your best bet for this Saturday and Sunday is to add extra split shots to keep the bait close to the bottom and use the smelliest stuff you can find.

Use these tips to be successful this weekend:
  • Us natural baits such as corn, cheese, and bread
  • Keep your bait at the bottom as much as possible
  • Fish structure in fast currents- fish will be hanging behind these and waiting for the food to come to them
  • Consider using Powerbait if all else fails
  • Stay away from lures unless the water is calm and shallow
  • Avoid the crowds that this weekend is sure to attract due to weather and the holiday
