Got to the bridge hole around 10:00ish with high hopes of trout catching, and I wasnt disapointed. Immediately I saw trout hitting the surface. I put on a bobber/ worm with s 1/8 oz split shot 1' above my size 8 egg hook.I slide half a crawler up the hook and through the hook and up the line so the worm was straight not wadded up. First cast bobber down. And so the day went like that. I would get fish on 5 to 8 casts in a row. Then a small lull in action for 1 to 2 minutes then it would pick up again. It went like that for the first 3 hours. By thst point i had caught and released roughly 50 trout that were too small didnt reach the 14" minimum and subsequently had to be released. Finally around 1:30 i hook into a hard fighter. Turned out to be a 14 1/2" chunky keeper rainbow. thats fish #1 towards my limit. Eventually I ran out of worms 2 doz, so i switched to home cured single salmon eggs. This was equally effective. Around 2:30 i decided to go on tge bridge to look in the hole... my jaw dropped, 12' wide as far as i could see on the bottom were trout stacked thicker than ive ever seen any where else. Mustve been 1000 trout in the hole. I fished until 4:00. By the end of the day i released roughly 100 trout, cutts and bows. Kept 1 bow and 1 whitefish. Im just awed by the expirience. My life is now complete lol.
