i just figured out that there are trout plants where im going campin, so i should take my trout plugs, but where would i throw them? i have castaic trout, stocker, and like 3 ospreys all in rainbow assorted colors. i have caught bass from a boat on the big plugs, but i have never tried from shore. also yes i would be very satisfied fishing for raibbows, as this will mostly be a first time for me fishing in a lake for trout. someone said minnows under a slip bobber about where the thermocline is, so if i could find out the thermocline, that would be good? another person said roostertails over rocky banks -patrick
