Bank fishing and still-fishing from a boat for trout has produced the most fish. Walking the bank as you cast will help you find the fish. A 1/4-3/8 ounce Kastmaster seem to be the most productive "chuck and wind" lure. The key to fishing a casting spoon is mixing up the speed and presentation. Sometimes the fish will take a slow, steady retrieve, and other times they prefer a faster, more erratic presentation. For bait fishing, try using garlic scented Power Bait (rainbow or chartreuse), or put on a Gulp Egg or a marshmallow/nightcrawler. Or, use Pro Cure garlic scent on colors of Power Bait that don't come pre-scented. If you fish an area for an hour or so without having any luck, pick up and move down the bank. Sometimes you might be just a few yards away from a quality limit. Bass anglers have had tough going because of cold water temperatures. Glory Hole Sports  (209) 736-4333
