While I hear you there were Russians bringing them in one after another and hauling them off. They couldn't speak inglis but man could they fish.That is just pressure when you see that many and won’t bite. They’ve had everything under the sun thrown at them and are skittish. Be the first there in the morning and you’ll get a few. Be the first there after a rain event and you’ll catch even more. Be the first there after no one has fished them for 2 weeks (doubtful haha) you’ll catch all of em.
There ain't no current. Its a lake. One guy sitting there limited out, saw my dilemma, and gave me the powerboat he caught them on. I rigged up same as he. I used his bait. I sat at his spot. I didn't even get a hit.That’s why I like flies for trout. If nothing big works something smaller will. I’ve also learned to get picky trout a tandem rig or dropper works great. Especially in clear low waters.
It’s all about the cast and placement of the fly with a good drift that gets them picky ones. As I mess with them goldens and can take a couple hrs to finally get one.
Your big lures like spinners I see people walk in my holes I’ve been fishing to only cast right on top of them and spook them. Either cast down stream and come up into the fish or cast across to the other bank and come straight across the pod of fish. Believe me those fish see it.
Can Trout tell when you hate them?
