Spruce Run Sunday

[JeffM]

Hit Sprune Run yesterday with a buddy. Paddled around for 4 hours before we got bit. Beautiful day.

Did you catch anything?

[JeffM]

Yea, we got 1 hybrid ~5lbs., and a 13 inch brown trout. Have a pic of the hybrid, can't post it.

Well here are the pixs.
Suggest in the future that the phone camera lens is wiped off b-4 shooting I adjusted them as best as I could do in 1 minute.

Nice fish BTW.

Thanks Wilson

Nice fish man! +1 for it being from a yak too! I landed my first Hybrid from my yak over the summer, what a blast that was lol.

What did you catch the fish on? Depth? Ever have any luck with Pike there?

Glad to see healthy hungry fish in Spruce Run, under rated, under fished !!

I have seen more folks drifting live bait fishing for hybrids in Spruce Run more than fishing for other species in the 15-20 times I have been there. Only seen two folks hooked up there while endlessly trolling and they were what I would call dinks.

In the south where I grew up (TN) the hybrids would push the bait to the surface and everything you could throw at them worked for as long as they were up (10 min to 1 h); however, I have not seen this happen here. I know I may be missing the all important moment there, but does this happen at Spruce Run? Heard the night time summer bite is good, but have not tried.

Comments?

Personally not a bait fisherman, except for catfish of course.
