You can fish with a second rod here. Don't forget Power Bait! Yellow w/ glitter is great. Most people at the Apollo Park tourney were catching them better this way when the bite slowed.

The water is warming up. So, fishing near bottom might be an advantage. Bring a can of nightcrawlers. I like dragging the worms. Floating a worm is good. Flyling a worm is also good when the fish are spooky.

If the bottom is filled with moss then, you may not want to drag anything.

Very early is probably your best bet. Spots that I know of are: the marina (generally small to mid-sizers bunched around there after the plant), Bubble-hole (first come, first served here), & Chris's Pond (a choice if you hate elbow to elbow type fishing & this place will have some big ones too). That was in no particular order.

If you are getting skunked & the trout are diagnosed with lock-jaw. Then, try the Catfish Lake area (east lake where the river water spills in). Go straight across from the water inlet. The cats should provide some activity. I hope?

P.S. - don't buy into that CRAVE rave. Power Bait has been more successful to the people I know. Also, I read a post once by some guy who caught a big trout (there) on Power Bait and Santa Ana River Lakes people released a report that he caught it on Crave. They were told it was on Power Bait. I wonder how many more times that happened?
