Default Re: worst openning day ever!

We are still not catching anything in the D&R Feeder Canal. WTF did F&G do this year to our fishery? It's also odd that nobodies caught any other fish, not even sunnies. By now in past years I would have already caught a few small mouths and crappies in there while trout fishing, but this year nada. A few token browns have been caught by a couple of us regulars, but none from the holes that historically produced for the last 30 years. IMO putting browns in there was a bad idea. We always got brookies and people are set up to catch them and rainbows, not browns. I understand they didn't have brookies to stock this year but why did they dump only browns in there? You'd think they would have used the browns for up north like in passed years and stock us with rainbows, but apparently they did it the other way around this year. Anyone from up north have tips for catching these browns? Powerbait doesn't seem to work in any color we have tried. I've tried CD1's in every color, rostertails, also in every color, and the only lure thats caught anything so far, foe me anyway, is an 1/8 oz. light brown rostertail with a copper willow blade.
