Depends on the lake, really, and the conditions. I've had good luck with a fly and bubble.

I feel dirty using bait and lures. Just personal preference, I suppose.

If they're not hitting on the flies, though, you have to switch it up.

Not worms. No substitute for the real deal.

Sounds like you are headed to Red Castle. There are some huge fish there.

Wow. That's a cool trip for those boys. Good on you getting them this experience

If you are taking scouts don't mess with expensive lures. Worm + bubble

Backcountry

6/20/17 12:50pm

Yeah, I didn't know you were taking scouts. Most just care about catching fish
