Mixed bag at Hagg (9 October 2021)

[bass]

Late to post this but I fished Hagg on the 9th. I ended up with 10 trout, a couple of perch, a nice sized crappie and a bullhead. I tried lots of depths and speeds. Trolling fast (1.7mph) and near the surface (1/8oz) is what worked best for me. Biggest trout was 17" which put up a great fight. Most fish caught on the 1/24oz roostertail (pink or green) with 1/2 nightcrawler trailer.

It took me quite a while (embarrassingly long really) to get things dialed in. When I was trolling slower I would get just enough bites (almost all short strikes) to keep me doing what I was doing. Once I started trolling faster the fish started hitting hard and I started hooking up.

Most excellent. Are those Lamiglass fiberglass rods?

Yes! They are the 8' Lamiglas Kokanee rods and I really love those rods. I got a great deal on them quite a while back (maybe 10 years now) at Fisherman's marine during the sportsman's show. I have Daiwa digital line counter reels on them. Great lightweight combo.

Thanks! It is really up to the fish to cooperate though

Are those rods one piece? I’m thinking about getting a couple limber action glass rods and using them with BFS Curados and light braid.

They are 2 piece rods.
