Members Log Posted October 11, 2006 Members Posted October 11, 2006 Mr. Lilley, First of all thanks for the great forum that you have started it is a real asset to folks like myself that dont live in the area but are in need of some accurate information. I was wondering the best techniques for possibally catching a few good browns this weekend. I would prefer to not use bait. Any suggestions on lures and/or locations would be greatly appriciated. Thank you for your time Ryan
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 11, 2006 Root Admin Posted October 11, 2006 Medium to large floating stick baits thrown at night either from a boat or wading. Wading- below the dam down to Lookout is accessable. From a boat- from Lookout down to our place. You have a fairly good chance to hang a big one.
Members Larry Murphy Posted October 12, 2006 Members Posted October 12, 2006 Phil, can you tell me more about stick bait fishing for trout? I use stick baits all the time for bass, love the suspending Rogue bite at LOZ in the spring. My questions.... What lures and lure colors? What size? Use stock hooks, or do you replace? Red? Yes....bass trick.... What kind of line, and how big? Assume fluorocarbon....right? Floating or suspending stick baits? Where best to fish? Open water? Sticks and rocks? Bank vs. middle of stream? Best time to fish? You mentioned night fishing, but I'm not ready for that. Is this better when the water is running, or when still? What time of year, or does that matter?
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 12, 2006 Root Admin Posted October 12, 2006 I have an article on using stick baits for browns called Big Baits- look under the article section under Taneycomo. I think most of your questions will be answered. If not- check back.
Members Larry Murphy Posted October 13, 2006 Members Posted October 13, 2006 Very nice article.... http://ozarkanglers.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=161 Would you recommend some colors and lure types? My first guess would be a rainbow trout pattern. Are treble hooks legal? What about red hooks versus the usual bronze?
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 13, 2006 Root Admin Posted October 13, 2006 No hook restriction. I have no experience using red hooks. Patterns - there's no bad pattern. I've caught alot of browns on brown, rainbow, shad, gold, clown... many others. I use mainly rapala but others use rogues and pointers.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 13, 2006 Root Admin Posted October 13, 2006 Suspending for the most part. But floating rather than sinking.
