Yeah, like I said, I don't have the knowledge or experience that you do, so it's a crap shoot as far as color and type of bait to use.

I typically use the "dark water, dark bait, clear/green water, bright bait" theory. I probably use silver or white too often though.

Trophy trout lake to trophy bass lake

8-10 up hotter it gets the more trout will move to higher salinity around 17-30

Winter time trout prefer less salinity vs summer

Is there science behind these numbers lol. Sorry, had to.

[jl8200]

The authorities (CCA) don't care about science so why should W. However his assessment is very likely based on scientific observation or just pure science.

[Afishionado]

I know they have to have a certain salinity to spawn, otherwise the eggs will sink and not survive. Don't remember what number though.

[seachaser250]

I bet that isn't the level........

[Afishionado]

Wow, less than half the salinity that it was last week.

Go south young man!
