#14667, "RE: Trout fishing"
In response to In response to 1


          

Good advice, and this rig, or a modification of it, can also work for drifting for trout. The best day I had drifting for trout at Lake Cachuma I used a two-hook Gami pre-tied #8 dropshot rig. I left only a 1/4 inch tag end, and nosehooked a nightcrawler to each hook (a power worm should work). In my rigging I could add weight to the rig as the afternoon wind got stronger and stronger without ever having to reel up. I did this by sliding more and more of the smallest dipsey sinkers with the plastic snap-on eye until the line angle showed that I maintained a consistent depth. The sinkers just slide down the line until they reach the swivel between the main line and dropshot leader. If the swivel is too small or the sinker eye is too large a small split shot can be used as a sinker-stop just above the swivel. All of the trout were caught on the lower hook, so if I were making my own rig I would not use two hooks.
