I usually find that if I wait a week or so they are much more cooperative. And yes they don't hit every stocking point and IMHO the bigger fish move a lot more, especially if flows happen to go up from a fresh storm.
Enjoy the hunt, that's part of the fun.  |
I agree, best you get initially is reactionary strikes in the rivers. On the other hand I've seen the fresh fall stockies nailing power bait 5 minutes after being stocked in a pond once. We're also going to need rain and quick!
