Fun fish: they dig, they jump, and sometimes they fake you out!
Great tip, thanks man! This totally makes sense. I am definitely going to put this method to the test next time out.

I didnt even realize there were trout in there! It didn't seem like the ideal place for them, but i guess i'll have to bring some stuff for them next time too!
