A drifting size 10 marabou jig. They will take any nymph that is drifted to them. In slow to still water they will some times take a slow decending fly cast near them. They do get big like a carp and can wear you out on trout tackle . The one i caught on this trip was a junior.
We have had huge stripers ( guess-to-mated at 15 to 20 lbs) trying to eat the 10 to 16 inch trout we were fighting on a couple previous trips. I hooked a bigger one 2 years ago that simply kicked my behind on trout gear. if I bring an eight weight they are a no show
By the way I enjoy reading your fishing posts.
I am going to fishing our local public ponds and smale lakes more once my kayak comes. I am very sensitive to poison ivy and don't dare walk through it to fish the shoelines( I can it catch from the wind but i can usually keep it from going systemic)
