Bart dilly's are small garden worms. What the dad fisherman is saying is to use a worm inflater. They sell them at Wally or any tackle shop. It is just a needle attached to a plastic container. You insert the needle into the worm and squeeze. This adds a little air into the worm causing them to float.
Try floating power eggs also. The solid eggs not the power bait. Or as suggested just drift the worms in the current. Start upstream from them and just drift.

Bust out a fly rod and try some different patterns, you'll hook into one of them for sure.

Use some sort of live bait, thats the best bet. I would go with a nightcrawler with no weight at all with a light leader. You should be able to cast the night crawler far enough without weight, if not your setup is too heavy. Fly rods will work too but its tough to get a perfect presentation.

I'm into trout big time. Here's my general rule with trout.
If you can see them ...they can see you.
Once they spot you they get lock jaw.
Sneak up on them. Approach from downstream if you can .

They might be suckers, I have been fooled into thinking I was seeing big trout during high water and they turned out to be suckers........

I also agree I have been fooled a lot of times by suckers especially in rivers and brooks with Brook trout. the best way besides bait would have to be a fly rod. I would go with some type of streamer or nymph. And yes Striperknight is right your going to have to sneak up on them. trust me. |
