The derby (Greenwing Festival) is located at the Trent canal below the liftlocks. Last week they dumped hundreds (probably thousands) of rainbows into the canal, including 10lb "Walter".

 

I hope you don't mind crowds, with the nice weather forecasted for tomorrow, it will be a zoo. Apparently, it's one of the largest such festivals in the world.

Stick a fat juicy worm on a hook, a small split shot to get it out a bit, or bare if you can. Cast it out, prop the rod up with the bail open. Play with the kids till something picks it up.

this is one of my favorite baits,chartreuse is the best, this stuff is a paste and what you do is take a bit out of the jar and roll it in your hand into a tight ball then mold it to the hook. Berkley power eggs in chartreuse with a piece of corn also is deadly.The secret is to use small fine wire hooks #12 owners are my favorite and 1 or 2 small split shot, and small floats.I fish a stocked pond for the next week thats my trout opener hahahahah. This weekend actually marks the end of steelheading the tibs for me, except maybe the Niagara and Port Dalhousie, I stay away from the Northern Trib zoo this weekend, getting to old for that party lol

Hi archer379,

 

I use to fish at glen haffy trout ponds as a kid.

 

My keys to success were: 6lb or 4lb line stren mono in those days, probably fluorocarbon would be better now.

 

Thin long Shy Bite Thill bobber with 2 or 3 tiny round lead press on sinkers spaced out evenly. Usually 2-3 feet of line between bobber and hook. Experiment with depth.

 

 

Corn was good but came off easy, so i switched to Berkley power eggs yellow. Those were firmer and stayed on longer

 

I used a sharpened size 14 round gold egg hook (same size as the power egg, edit: sometimes sz 12 hook), clip one side of egg then turned the hook around and embedded it into the other side of the power egg. I liked to leave a tiny bit of the hook point exposed.

 

You could also use two power eggs by sliding the first power egg up the hook just beyond the hook eye and adding the second power egg.
