Thanks for the reply. Good feedback. I assume I have to pinch down my barbs on my flies too?

If you were to bank or wade for stripers on American/Sac/feather would a sinking line be better? Can a floating line with a weighted fly or right leader get you down enough to get bit on the swing and strip? Thinking of an 8wt.. also barbless flys on American? Thanks

Are stripers running near Verona right now? When’s the best time for striper fishing at Verona? Best bait off the bank? Live minnows?

Does anyone have any advice on Lake Almanor in the late summer to early fall transition? Like late September? I am a typical Dropshot, jig, spinnerbait guy. Will throw topwater as needed. Same with big swimmers however this is a family trip with my son. Coming from a folsom lake background. Have nev...

No trailer or trailer hook. War eagle spinnerbaits have great longer skirts that mimic trailer already. Add a trailer for bigger profile and real dirty water. Never trailer hook.

Iv been using shimano Cardiff 400 or 300 5:4:1 reel Dobyns Fury 806 or 795 20 lb mono big game I have confidence in the action of a hud, a Deps 250 for slightly below surface, a ospery and a magdraft but not the 6 inch mag. The 8 inch only. The 6 inch is so light and I like the ospery better the tai...

Will a 2 pound small baitfish eating spotted bass smash an 8 inch hudd? Will it smack a Deps 250? 8 inch magdraft? Why not? Bigger baits may be more confident to throw more drawing power… might not be catching a lot tho….

Would I sound crazy if I chucked an 8 inch bait or bigger no matter the season…. I’m about to commit… I love my jigs and spinnerbaits but getting bored sometimes. Can’t help it.

All great advice and great knowledge. Thank you! I should just shut up and throw these damn things!

You always hear about a vortex tail for trout eaters what about a big boot tail for a trout/Kokanee eaters in a clear water reservoir with water fluctuations….. Also, do you think 6-7 inch swimbaits will get bit in harder months of the year not typically “swimbait season” like November-June. Are bai...

If you had to be forced to bring 3 baits only on a bass fishing trip to any lake in the country what 3 would you bring?

What’s the areas on American where you can only fish barbless for artificial lures on American? A rigs topwaters all swimbaits ok if they are barbless and regular stock hooks? Probably best to fly fish for those coors light silver bullets anyways huh? Any information on this would be greatly appreci...

Swimbaitspence

Yeah it’s something you definitely have to put time into. Leave the house with nothing else. One bite

Any suggestions on key spots, points or humps or islands to throw the 8 inch rof 12? Seasonal areas? I have had success on big baits at Folsom mainly big topwaters but I’d like to dial in more confidence in my hudd box… do they stock trout once a year? I’d like to not drive to collins everytime to t...

Great fish father in law!!!! Bam!!!!

Swimbaitspence

Spence I'm sure they'll all work on Folsom in certain conditions, but the 8" Hud has accounted for a lot of big fish on Folsom. If I was using one bait it'd be an 8" Hud in a ROF of 5 or 12. Thanks Gary I appreciate the reassurance. The 806 has been my go to for that application so thanks...

Any recommendations for big baits on Folsom? I have previously caught them on Huddlestons and s waver.... not many to say the least. Just my level of commitment hasn’t been there on Folsom for the big stuff with the obvious notion of throwing the stuff that we all know gets bit there...I know that t...
