Anybody know where these are located now?

But weather is a big player.   Cloudy and rainy is best.

Have caught some of my biggest Current river browns on days like that and typically between 10 am and 2 pm. On the time I always wondered if that the best time for them to eat or if it was just based upon that was when I got to less pressured waters.

I've always wondered if you could chum with liver and maybe pull some browns but never tried it.....seems like way too much work. 

Trout do love liver. I have only used it for bait in the catch&keep portions of the urban trout program. They would grab the bait and just swim off with it. Out fished the guys with the dough baits.

There is a new guide on the lake that in his videos was advertising using liver on Taney.  First I had heard of it and not entirely sure what I think of it, thought it weird for a guide to do so but to each their own.

I’ve never used bait for trout.   Sitting and soaking bait doesn’t appeal to me.  People chum with corn but I don’t think browns go for that.   

Browns love corn. Dad has caught more nice browns on it than anything else.

Not going to lie. We used to chum with corn off the docks in my early Taney days (20+ years ago). It was mainly to draw in the suckers but there were plenty of nice browns that showed up to the feast.

I've heard of it for years, but never have tried it. It's really not much different than fish guts.

Don’t every try a crawler tipped with corn. It never never works 😉

When I was on the White guys were chumming with liver and drifting with them. Pretty common practice, which I did not now. Saw a bunch of liver buckets trashed throughout, too.

That's really interesting.  Guess I had never heard of it either.

bait fishing equals gut hooked fish

That depends on how it's done, decades ago when I fished exclusively with night crawlers for trout I rarely got anything but lip catches, three or more fish per worm. released all the small ones.  I'd guess at this point in time I've had more gullet/gut hook ups for trout with foam beetles than with worms. I suspect that letting bait sit until the fish swallows it and swims off is what results in gut hooked fish. If actively fishing and making the fish chase the bait, chances of gut or gullet hooking are greatly reduced.
