Re: Lake Almanor Trout
I was told years ago by a really good trout guy the best was for a biginner was to use the lightest line you can with the lightest weight, power bait on a small hook. throw it out, let it fall to the bottom. Reel it in & do it again.

Thanks jigs. Been tying my own jigs for pushing 50 years, total hack. Was just wondering if you had a magic way to cut the strips getting started but I guess scissors are it. Again, beautiful stuff

Re: Testing 1, 2,3 for winter
Had a guy fall in after a long day smallmouth fishing up here, 43* water. Got him in ok but he refused to change into the extra clothes I keep in the boat. His cabin was maybe 5 minutes away, almost didn't make it. Scary, put a ladder on the boat a couple of days later

Re: Swimbait questions
For me, up in the socal mountains, the colder months with low 40s water temp is way better. Pretty much throw an 8" hudd 12 or a bluegill bait Can get them in the warmer months but not the same. When I'm not throwing a big bait mostly old school flipping a jig, again best in colder water
