Fishing Techniques

• For Striped bass

  Match the hatch! Pay attention to what the stripers are feeding on and select lures or baits that mimic the size and color of the local forage.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
