I bought some of these for our trip to annual Kendall trip in October. I know there are a different color but it this similar to the worm you use? I usually stick with kastmasters, cleos and pins. I thought I would try something different this year with the worms. Also going to try a fly rod for the first time. Still have about 2 months to practice. I saw a Ky afield episode where they were trolling and drifting live shad for Browns, anybody ever try that? They caught some good fish that way.

Yep those are the ones...We've only used bubblegum that's the only difference. Several of the trout I pulled in had a throat full of live worms...so it shows it's an effective way to fish.

Good luck with the fly rod. I'm going for some fly lessons on the 23rd at Sportsmans warehouse in Lex. Enjoy!

Wow sounded like you had a ball, A few years ago we went down around this time of year and we had been fishing a local pond that has a bunch of nice blue gill, my wife's second favorite eating fish, well being the lazy kind of fisherman I left the drop shot rig that I was using on the gill. Well the rod was a 5&1/2 foot ultra light and pretty much pitched it like you did your rig I had the bait about 16 inches above the the shot and this helped with the grass on the bait and feeling the strike was easy to spot and a one or two pound slot is a heck of a fight on 4lb test on a UL rod. so fish safe and thanks for the report maybe I can get down there sunday if my son in law is off and can haul me to the bottom with the jeep, been to long with dry line LOL.

Hey Dennis,
Hope you get out and fix that problem! Man can't have a dry line.
Good Luck!
