Yes there are other trout fisherman on this board! Nothing against the bassers out there since I like doing that too. I guess I am just the lazy kind. As for Del Valle trout fishing, that is great to hear that the fish are starting to bite. I fished there a month or two ago a few times to catch some nice cats and was home every time within 2 hours. I normally troll for trout there using flashers and crawler/kastmaster until I locate where most of the fish are holding. Probably tough to substain trolling speed in a kayak though :-). Sounds like you already have the pattern that works for ya anyway. Del Valle does hold some BIG trout too. I have caught 2 7's and a buddy that was with me caught a 9 there(trolling a silver and Blue Kastmaster)... I also lost half a Castaic trout last year on a monster striper that was trolled right off the bottom. I will have to go out soon and see what is shakin out der... Thanks for the post and the info it sure is nice to see other people posting trout info.

Z-Man out...
