Today, went with a BH Leech that we picked up from Scotty's One Stop Shop on a trip to the Blue River last year. And then, replaced the Nymph trailer with a Size 14 Wet Fly Hook modified by adding a part of a ballpoint pen spring!
Had tried other ways to cast Powerbait using a flyfishing gear with limited success. Today, the design - calling it the "Powerbait Hook", allowed for normal flycasting without losing the bait!
Going to keep this one in our backpocket when all else is not working....

I was out Prosper today. Remember the guy you talked to when you were leaving? I was standing by my car having a smoke. I ended up limiting on those marshmallows. Too bad this weather isn't going to hold. It was a great day for fishing. Anyway...names Matt. It was nice to meet you. I have been watching the fishing forum and your bolg. Nice to put a face with the page.
ReplyDeleteI do remember!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day to be out fishing; not sure what the weather change will do to the action. But, am glad to have gotten a limit in before it hits.
It was great to meet you, and thanks for checking out our Blog. Always glad to meet other fishermen in the Field!
Good luck and good fishing!
Just happened upon your blog, good info. I am planning on taking my son out to the trout derby on Sat in Mckinney and was wondering where you found the power bait? Could only find Crappie Power bait down here in Plano. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out our Blog! I picked up Powerbait Trout Bait at Gander Mountain in Sherman. This was back in December.
ReplyDeleteGive them a call at (903)891-8585. Just called them and confirmed they do have some in stock.
Also, Academy has it,... but on a hit or miss basis.
Good luck at the Trout Derby!
