Trout Are Taking A Variety of Baits and Lures

This early in the year, the shoreline should be mostly free of aquatic vegetation. Trout are taking a variety of baits and lures. PowerBait and night crawlers will catch fish off the bottom. Bead head Wooly Buggers, Prince Nymphs and snail patterns are generally productive. Small lures in gold and chartreuse colorations can do well also.

We only talked to two anglers who fished the ranch this week and they had a blast! They each caught over 20 fish, all on nymphs. Small-ish stonefly patterns as well as small baetis patterns did the trick for them. They also fished a few soft hackles and prince nymphs. If you want to book some time on the river just give us a call!
