the reason they are finicky is because they have had 1000s of people throw every kind of lure or bait imaginable after them.This is BS Sorry I have trolled different colored panther martins with my uncles and cousins And have has days where 90% of the fish were caught on silver or red or blue, you get my point. Exact same presentation , exact same lure. Just different color. Trout even stocker after a couple of weeks. can be the most finicky eater of all fish.
Who said this advice was for those that already have a good clue on how to catch them

I leave the pellet heads for the young kids and older people to fish,hatchery raised trout have nowhere near the instincts that a wild fish has..the most embarrasing thing is watching grown men standing at a boat ramp waiting for a stocker truck to dump fish in.
I bust up laughing when people run for the truck, I tend to walk the opposite direction, no sense in thinking 2000 fish are gonna stay in one area. It is all bait to me, I personally don't see how grown men can think 12 inch Trout are the only thing out there, I see guys at the stocker ponds that seem to have no clue about any other species of fish, it's like Trout are the only thing that exist to them, there are plenty of fish in Oregon, native or not, they have muscle and fight, people need to make use of them because complaining about them does no good, might as well take up racism or join the kkk cuz they like to bi#$h about everything for nothing along with dislike people that don't have their beliefs.
I am not crap talking those who love Trout, but just saying, Oregon has a lot more fish that will put up different challenges, no point in living a life doing the same thing over and over, add some variety.
Ill stick up for stocker trout. I personally think they can and do adapt to their environments if they are there long enough. So a pond with trout during the middle of summer will probably die. But a trout stocked in a lake like Diamond grow up to be wonderful fish. Although all the fish there are stocked as fingerlings, im sure the legal sized trout we all grown to love or hate also will take to their surroundings. Some of the places that the ODFW stocks with rainbows arnt that pressured and they do hold over to the next year and become better table fare and better fighters.

$10 cabelas gift card!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:why post up just to argue about how easy it is to fish for one type over another. lets go fishing already. Brian
I also think people that chase stocker trucks are funny, but here Drew, you say you think its funny, and you go the other way when the trucks are there, yet in post 9 you said you like to cast worms with no weight into the fish as there being poured out??
Because the whole purpose of this thread was to stir up a hornets nest.

and especially worm with no weight casting into the fish as they are getting poured out of the truck, literally, lol.

Lol this is one of the most contradictory jokes of a thread posted on this forum.

Where did I state I like to do this, I stated that I have caught fish this way, I fly fish the stocker ponds for bait all year, and in the winter since a stocker pond is the closest body of water to me, and I don't drive. I haven't casted a worm with no weight behind the truck in about 4 years now, just trying to give advice for those who have trouble with the stockers, and people DO, like using a fixed 1/2oz weight thinking the fish will set the hook on themselves, kinda hard to get hooked when the hook is buried in a round ball. 4 years ago, I didn't care about crowds, as long as there were fish, nowadays I think about how much of a clown I looked like along with everyone else chasing the truck.
And I've seen plenty of people who don't know how to work the lures right, like speed, some people like to 'jig' their hardware, these are the people whom I recommend using bait or lighter lures since there really is not much to know about working it.
Question # 1, if you hate fishing there so much (and apparently the type of peeps that it draws), then why are you out there?
Question #2, why not go somewhere else?
