It's raining tonight.
It should be cloudy tomorrow morning.
Any tips on fishing for planted trout in an urban northern california
lake?
Lake Ralphine in case you know the lake.




Powerbait. Take a couple of different colors, but make sure one is green
with sparkles. Small treble hook with small sliding sinker. Berkeley makes
a hook setup, buy one to see how they are. Wal-Mart carries them. Toss out
with light line, 2-4# test and with a loop in the line on the rod, hang a
very light weight item on the line. Maybe 1/2 oz. Then you can see the
fish take the bait and start moving off with the hook and bait as the line
tightens up. Also fish a worm the same way. Get a worm inflator and put a
little air in the worm so it floats. After a rain, the worm should work
well anywhere there is a small stream running into the lake.

Bill, Bob,

Thanks for the tips.

Bryan
