Default Odd afternoon of fishiung

Greetings from the S.E. Utah desert country.

Spent a few hours yesterday afternoon in the local mountains at a popular
trout lake, Oowah Lake, near my home in Moab, UT. had considerable success
in catching 1-3 pound Rainbows on red / white and black / white spoons, but
my wife discovered something I though was rather odd.

She rigged up with a small portion of a 6" Senko clone on an old but sharp
Aberdeen hook and began getting solid bites. Exposing the hook point more
got her five nice trout in about 30 minutes (she doesn't fish a lot) before
a big one broke her line.

I changed over to an Eagle Claw Tru-Turn and another chunk of the plastic
worm and after 7 more fish ( I caught 10 on spoons) caught the biggest 'Bow
of the afternoon, about 17 inches long.

Ok, does anybody have any ideas about this? I've never heard of anything
like this ... Trout on Bass lures. I'm gonna have to try it again. VBG

All comments welcome.
