Hi Everyone ~
So I've lived in Springfield for about three years and finally made it out to the canoe canal / pond the other day for the first time. Put in the canoe and fished until dusk - mostly at the pond. Heron stood guard most of the time, which was pretty amazing. Caught three trout - two good sized, one lil' guy. I was using advice that I read here previously - a small, silver spoon with a tiny powerbait "maggot" on the end.
I'm not sure where the "dump tube" is - I've been putting in at the Autzen canoe landing and heading away from the chute. Can someone key me in?
I have gone out to the canal the last few days, went once tuesday and twice wednesday and had no luck.
I was using power eggs for a while then I switched to a thomas lure and still didn't even get a bite.
Any advice?
I never catch anything there either, i think you have to be there when they stock. I did manage to hook a tiny fish on a single pautzke egg. I think it was a baby shad...not really sure, was about two inches long. I have tried everything there, kastmasters, thomas, blue fox, eggs, and powerbait. Funny, I catch fish everywhere else on ALL those things but nothing at Alton Baker.
I don't know what the deal is, I went the day they stocked and I went again last night and this morning, all with no luck.
It is weird because I caught 12 fish total after 3 straight days of fishing there off powerbait.
