Default Re: Round valley or spruce run advice

I wouldnt bother fishing spruce if you are looking for trout, they are few and far between in there. Ive fished it for years and altho I target stripers only Ive never had a trout as bycatch there and I only fish with herring

now for RV theres many ways to fish it, as brian said jigging for lakers would be your best bet. If you can fish a deadstick Id throw a shiner on a fishfinder rig and make sure its close to the bottom and on the other side jig a binsky or a tube bait. You can also use heavy 3/4-1oz jig heads and use a shiner on it and jig that, works very well. There are lots of fish up high this year, theres no thermocline set in as of yet, but there is seperation of water temps and you will find the bait hanging out near that band of water and the trout will be as well. You can get down as deep as you need to with just snap weights or trolling weights, no need for lead core or downriggers. With a 2oz snapweight at 1mph its 2to1 w live bait, will be more with drag of a lure or spoon. RV is a tough place for guys w boats and electronics, trolling w a kayak isnt easy and keeping a steady speed is the hard part. maybe ur phone has an app, you wanna be 1.5 to 2 mph, you can go a lil faster but usually thats the speed range im trolling unless I see outside lines in turns getting hit. If you are gonna be doing alot of kayak fishing Id spend a couple bucks and get a basic fishfinder, you can do well for a hundred bucks, its crucial in alot of waters
