Couple from the other evening. I haven’t seen a rainbow with such vivid fin coloration. Overnight temps are finally dropping and the bite is on. In my area, drifting hair jigs or small nymphs generally guarantees fish but getting a bigger one convinced can be trickier. I’ve recently switched my approach to having two setups: one for “micro” stuff in which I’ll throw small spinners or smaller jigs not expecting big bites, then the other I’ll throw larger lures looking for a bigger bite. It’s genuinely a blast targeting the “micro” trout in skinny water. The entire action of the retrieve and strike is visible and the fish seemingly come out of nowhere. It’s just like fishing for the big ones but on a miniature scale and I’ve been using it as a scapegoat to get skunks off the board… not sure if it counts to everyone else but mentally, sometimes catching a fish is as good as any no matter the size.
