Every time my brother and me go out to Hermitage we have no luck. Through two fishing trips we had one bite and one came up my hole after a boatman. No much action there.

Find the bottom and come up off bottom a foot then start jiggin slow if you have maggots or mealworms, with just a dew worm find bottom reel up a foot or two then just leave it sitting there, keep your drag loose so the rod doesn't go through the hole, then watch your rod tip for bites.

[tysonlazo2]

I'll try that

[tysonlazo2]

I must suck at trout fishing in the winter still no bites

I just went ther for about 45 minutes after work from about 7:30-8:15 and drilled 4 holes crossing the front from the dock to the island and used a small techno glow bug with trout bait and no bites either. Quite surprised being close to a full moon n all. Ahhh well you can't always win. I'll give it another shot soon

[tysonlazo2]

Agent from 7 am till 4:30 had one in last 15 come up my hole after something

i know there is no more perch left in there the bad winter we had two years ago wiped them out. seen them lying on bottem with the camera i think they stock trout every year do they not?

[kallsimb]

we got our 3 on small lindy rattlyn flyers in the rainbow colour. Also tipped with maggots.
