I had my eye on Ten-Mile the other day. Being from the UK 39 years ago I still like to waggler float fish rather than spinning. So far all the lakes have a ton of weed down at 4-5 feet. Have to keep them high. There's something weird about me wanting to stare at a float all day Lol.

Yes, nightcrawlers work well but I like maggots better. Some Powerbaits also work of course if the fish are hungry. Some days I go through 6 to 8 flavors and then don't get a bite.

Just joined today and looking forward to all you old guys and tips. I'm 74 and love Stillwater fishing for trout. Trouble is few places around here other than stocked lakes. Looking for fresh venues. Cheers, all.
