Thanks to some nice tips from SeattlePat and others, I decided to go Green again today. There was a narrow window before the Seahawks game, but certainly worth a try. Everyone is talking about the Kastmaster as being the item. To my surprise I had two of them in my tackle box from possibly 20+ years ago. It is always good to dig out the old relics and put them in the mouth of a fish or two or maybe ten...
Last time out I laid a goose egg with my fishing performance. Things could only improve.
7:00am: First cast with the Kastmaster, hey what's that? Yep, fish on! I reeled in a nice 12" rainbow/steelhead. Fifth cast, and what do you know. Another 12" trout. A lively one that jumped a few times. Then things went quiet. I watched my neighbor to the left catch a trout about every 2-5 minutes. The guys to my right were occasionally netting fish too. Nothing is more annoying than watching everyone else catch fish when I am not.
So I changed out my lure. One similar to a rooster tail, but no bites, another real oldie from my box - a red devil, but no bites. I told the guy to my left: "You're killing me!" He was using power bait eggs, orange and white.
I switched to my second setup with power bait eggs under a bobber and slip sinker, set near the bottom, then 3' from the top. Nothing. Ok, then I copied exactly what the dude next to me was using, including his orange power eggs. Still nothing, while I watched him reeling in fish. Time ran out, but I am still learning and had some success.
The trout tasted very nice for dinner. I'll be back.
