Trout Growth

[Gerald]

The bigger trout will usually stay down near the bottom or out around the edges of the light. Try fishing these areas to see if you can catch a few more bigger fish.

go to another light. or try that light in a few days or weeks and hope another school has moved in to take advantage of the food source. A big school of little ones is going to be a big school of little ones until something runs them off or eats them.

I have seen big schools of them behind grand isle. you could see a few bigger ones mixed in but it was too hard to get a bait to them. the little ones kept intercepting the lure.

it was very cool to watch them track the jig in the air.

There is a secret that I will share when it comes to finding undersized schools of trout. Have been doing this on Grand Isle when the 11 1/2" trout schools show up. Next time you are at Big Lake bring a 5 gallon bucket and fill it up with that magic water. If you find yourself in a school of small trout pour 1 gallon of the water around the school. 1 gallon will 'treat' 1000 fish. Let set for 10 minutes and then begin casting, the fish will have grown to legal size
