Dries, leeches, and worms. Tigers behave more like brooks. Just depends what you are chasing.

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.

You can get imitation "flies" of everything you described.

Not worms. No substitute for the real deal.

I've caught a ton on San Juan Worms. I suppose the real thing is better, but

San Juan worms as effective in stillwater as a nightcrawler? Nah. For brooks,

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
