Thread: A few Trout

Wife and I hit the Little Red River this past Monday to do a little trout fishing. Weather was nice. Where we put in at water was very shallow. In some places mere inches deep. I got introduced to coontail grass in my jet drive. Thought I was gonna be stuck on the river all night. But lucky for me my wonderful wife was able to stretch over the transom and clean the intake out. Only caught 3 fish. The river is very warm as not much generation is happening. We saw quite a few dead trout. Some of them pretty large. The only lure that worked for me was a 3 gram Niakis spinner. Many times would have 4-5 followers but no takers. Couldn’t even get followers on my other lures. But the 3 fish I did catch gave me a ton of fun. I was using the 63 Lunakia with Varivas Twitch Master 3# test. I love the feeling of a tight line hit. As soon as we get another nice day of decent temps we’ll be back out there.
