Hit a local stream again this morning with pretty good results.. 2-3 brookies and a crapload of small bows (8inch was about the biggest) I did however spot a monster (to me anyhow, lol) It was a good 2lb fish. It took a bit of interest in my Mepps #0 silver spinner but never made a swipe at it. Same thing went with some of the bigger brook trout I spotted. Lots of interest but no hits. Should I try slow drifting worms or roe perhaps? I would think a worm, small hook and no weight would be a pretty natural presentation.. No way I'd ever get a flyrod in there, the banks are just way to overgrown...

 

To bad I forgot the damn camera, some of those brookies had some amazing colours to them!

Give dewage a try just like you said no weight just a hook. Has always worked for me. One thing you might want to try with the bigger trout. Wait till after a good rain colours up the water some.

Ah, I thought it was a bad idea to fish when the water was stained.. I guess I should give that a shot :)

Im not talking chocolate milk just a little colour I find the bigger fish seem to loose their cautious attitude.

Try a live minnow, those trout don't get big just eating insects... or a small Rapala in rainbow trout colour...

I wouldn't give up on spinners Bill. I was fishing a local trib and used decent sized gold and black in-line spinners and I caught some HUGE steelhead. Try to match the hatch (creek chub) and you might have some good results.

They really seemed to like the Blue Fox #0 Gold/Silver. I tried a 1/32 ounce Panther Martin with the fly on the hook and they weren't to interested.

 

Haven't tried any of the Mepps black fury's I have, next time (maybe tomorrow morning, lol) I'll have to give that a shot.
