I was out fishing for some paltry Brown Trout yesterday. We talked some years ago when you were in Spokane about them, but ..... the water was 10+ feet clear, fish were just flipping me the "fin" and swimming off.
I decided to have a little fun and put on your Wopper Plopper 130. OK this brought them up. They would come out of the depths clear the water, then hit it on the way down. THERE ARE NO HOOKS ON TOP. LOL When they stopped that trick I tied on a Wide Glide 120 SS. The would rush up to within inches then back off.
When the water is super clear and the fish are turning at the last second, I usually try going small, then if nothing I go BIG. Going big did get the interest, but while I had the attracting, I missed the triggering.
What do you suggest I could have done?
And yes, I want to hear from you other guys as well. My paltry brown trout do have some size to them. I caught a few 20 inchers but my largest to date is 30" to boat, and a few larger lost at the net. So, a 120 and 130 sized bait is really not that "overboard".
