Took two trips recently to get my stockie fix. Both were somewhat close to home streams I haven't fished yet. First trip was Sunday since the m&g was cancelled.

Thanks again for setting it up, hope to make the next one!! Had it to myself for the first hour or so but saw a few other anglers out. Caught 2 decent bows there. One was pretty thick and colorful.

Today I fished a different fall stocked stream with slightly better results.Fished a decent stretch of really nice water with no action for a while, then I got whacked!! Fish porpoised as soon as I hooked it so I knew it was big!! After one drag ripping run it just kinda flopped the rest of the way in. Didn't tape it but im thinking 22-23" and super FAT!! Could barely get my hand around em!!

That was just the start cause the next few spots I went 6 for 8 hooked and had a few other strikes that never hooked up. Definitely scratched the itch, for now........

Hahahahahaha. I'm a firm believer that where and how you use a lure are more important than which color, size, pattern you use. Especially with stockies. Precision casting and changing up the action to find what gets em excited can make all the difference. Hey, if someone goes out with the same lure and hammers em, good for them!! Glad I could help....
