Rvr 11/22

[Moz]

Had yesterday off and decided to do some low-impact fishing at the Valley. Wind blew pretty steadily and the sun was out the whole time but I matched my previous best with 5 trout caught and released on the day. I also had what I assumed was a pickerel saw me off, a quick bump and then my lure was gone and the 4 LBS test was nicely cut.

Some pics on the day, caught my first ever trout on Powerwait too but they were all over the 2" swimbaits I like to use.

WOW, great catch Moz! Thats a hell of a day fishing off the banks of the Valley! AWESOME!!!

Thanks Eddie. I've endured many a skunk there so at some point it sort of balances out. I talked to a guy already set up when I parked and he had 4 on the day. Seems like the recent state stockees are biting.

I did see a big golden trout cruise by too but he didn't stick around.

Nice fish, been wanting to get over to RVR to try for some of those trout off the shore. I like to fish with my float rod and a bobber any suggestion on bait?

Shiners work really well with a bobber there. Unfortunately with Lebanon B&T closing down I don't know where you can get any nearby.

Andy; I may have confused myself on the state stocking. Wilson posted a link a short time back that the state stocked lakes with trout for the winter and I may have assumed RVR was part of that. In any case they're biting!
