Rainbow trout stockings
are well underway and will continue all winter long at two week intervals.
Trout range in size from 11-12 inches in length, with some fish up to 16
inches. Fishing is good to excellent for anglers using scented dough baits
(such as Power Bait), worms or corn on the bottom. Tip: anglers using 2-4 pound
test line are getting 2-3 times more bites than anglers using 8-12 pound line.
Small spinners such as Roostertails and Panther
Martins, or spoons such as Kastmasters and Super
Dupers work well for trout. The morning bite is the best, but trout will bite
sporadically throughout the day. When the bite is on, anglers are catching
limits in an hour or two. Action for catfish, bluegill and bass has slowed due
to colder water temperatures. Trout fishing is good to excellent at Green
Valley lakes in Payson with Power Bait, worms and small spoons or jigs working
best.
