Hi

I'll be staying on the river this weekend and want to take my kids out a few times when we are up there. We will be inbetween Durham and Hanover. What do you think a good lure/bait/tactic would be for trout. We will have our spinning rods with us

Thx

float a worm, especially with kids

Small spoons, spinners, stick baits, etc. Might run into a resident brown or two.

There are many places in the Durham area that stock speckled trout. It may be a bit of a zoo between the lower and middle dam but if you can bunt your way in there I'd recommend floating a worm or a small spinner with a bit of worm meat on it. The Holstein Mill dam is stocked too, below the dam I believe. Also the Allan Park Pond. If you're looking for "resident" browns try the stretch behind the ball diamonds in Durham.

The one time I did go there for the opener years back it was ridiculous. Shoulder to shoulder fishing. Someone catches a fish it's bedlam getting people to pull in their lines. Then everyone rushed over to that spot. I saw fist fly that day. I might wait a week or so to take the kids there. I know I wouldn't on opening day for sure. It was a Zoo, I don't know about now I bet it's worse.
