Sorry no pics. I'll try to post them later.
Anyway... it's been at least a year since I have fished from my float tube and decided I would take it into Miller Canyon and do some trout fishing. Haven't been back there since the water was waaaaaay down back in Feb.-March. I love fishing Silverwood and I forget how beautiful Miller Canyon is in the Spring. Water was way way up from the last time I was there. Not a cloud in the sky and slightly breezy not too bad though. By the time I got back to where I wanted to be and launched it was about 8am. Fished trout worms and night crawlers and had my limit of good size trout by 10am. I found some trout worms at Big 5 made by Eagle Claw. Color was Nightcrawler with red flakes. Didn't know Eagle Claw made trout worms. They looked great so I bought them and they ended up being the hot bait for me. I landed my biggest trout on the first cast. Went a solid 2-3 lbs. I was fishing them on a 1/32 jig head and 4lb P-line (I REALLY NEED 2lb).
Probably my best day of fishing ever at the wood. I hardly limit out, let alone in 2 hours. If I didn't have to leave by eleven I probably would of had a ton more. To anyone that likes using trout worms, I highly recommend the Eagle Claw worms. Nightcrawler with red flake. Did me good!
