Default Re: Trout persistence pays offs!!

Congrats! I am still haven't broken my trout skunk, I have fished Echo Lake almost every day since the winter stock and have yet to get even a nibble. At first I was just using spinners but after seeing the power bait crew pulling in Trout left and right I broke down and bought a cheap medium-light rod and reel from Walmart and started fishing power bait on a slip rig with the new pole while casting spinners with the other. Despite doubling my fish catching potential I have still had no luck. Have covered just about entire lower lake and some of middle lake at this point and I wouldn't be surprised if only 50 or so of the original 160 are still out there for me to catch...I am not ready to give up yet...
