J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 try a hawthorn fly from a boat on the downwind side of the trees. they will often congregate to catch fallen insects had plenty of sport doing just that over the years..... Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Not sure if this water is a fly only venue, if so a lure fished deep will kill then all the time, if you are allowed to use other methods then I would suggest spinning a minnow, this method is deadly for rainbows.

TITCHY69 10 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I DONT NOW IF ITS FLY ONLY BUT IF NOT I FOUND YELLOW POWER BAIT THE BEST FOR RAINBOW TROUT, I USE THIS IN A RESIVOUR BY ME AND ALWAYS CATCH MY BAG (6) BE CAREFULL THOU ITS NOT ALLOWED TO BE USED ON MOST LAKES Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 The trout fishing at grafton is fly only. Quote Link to post
elisderyn 496 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 If they are for the table & you just want to nail them..................freeline a single worm after a drop of rain......................A maggot feeder with twin maggot on the hook is deadly............unsporting but deadly......

GHT 6 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 can vouch for the freelining worm method Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 grafton/grafham both fly only for trout...same difference... Quote Link to post
mole catcher 1 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 get yourself a nice gill net, a row boat and BINGO loads of trout for the bbq not the most sporting of methods but hay, it works. Quote Link to post
roystoncrankted 1 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 try some bread on a big hooook that works well for me and dont forget the nike trainers for a fast getaway if not stick a spinner on and catch at will Quote Link to post
