I've used a similar setup up in Washington, but i used a trout magnet hook for the worm. The added weight really gave the worm more motion and I limited out on larger fish almost every trip.
that's interesting, because last Sat and today I got 2 trout fishing near the dam, all on spinners. I also caught several coho using spinners (all released, but a great fight on ultra-light)
Brandon, let me know if I can help. I would be happy to volunteer and enable us to increase the access.
How far is it to walk in now during November? I can't seem to get a definitive answer when i call the city.
Thanks!
