I fish plugs, jigs and sometimes bait if I'm desperate. But I'm all for plugs! That twitch twitch boom turns me on!

Not main stem, I launch at the confluence, as far as I know that's the last stocking stop on the NB in the fall this year. from there I can cover the NB up to the rt202 bridge (another possible stocking point), and the SB up to Studdiford (possibly the last stocking point on the SB), if anyone knows if they passed over those spots let me know. that's three potential stocking areas, the waters in between them, as well as the wide main stem down to the head dam I can cover. gonna try to get the larger bows they throw in.

They are hatchery fish, don't over think this one. ANYTHING shiny.

Believe it or. not i caught most of my big trout on worms jigged off the bottom in deep holes last fall. I also caught one one on a yozuri pin minnow.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Rapala, Daiwa, Pins Minnow knock offs and jigs! Original floating rap, cd3, husky jerks, xraps, all common plugs that catch Trout! I catch lots of Browns and Tigers, they're usually all on small plugs that are 1.5-2 inches in length. Some go deeper than others! It's all about that twitch twitch! BOOM, Fish-on!!!!!
