Big Rainbow Trout at Lake Gregory

Big Rainbow Trout at Lake Gregory

Luis Gonzalez started November strong at Lake Gregory and landed a thick 4.10-pound rainbow trout on the 1st right next to the boat docks. The fish took an Elevated Spoons "Iron Man" spoon. He ran a mini jig tipped in Rusty Garlic scent from Magic Fish Water as a trailer and used light 4lb Izorline monofilament line for the whole setup.

The Iron Man color mixes metallic red and gold flash. That pattern works well when trout chase flashy lures near structure. The mini jig trailer with strong garlic scent added extra attraction in the cooler water. Garlic scents help trigger bites when fish turn picky in fall.

Anglers planning a trip to Lake Gregory soon should fish the boat docks and close drop-offs while trout hold shallow. Cast spoons in red/gold tones and add a scented mini jig trailer. Run light line in the 4 to 6 pound range for more bites in clear water. This catch from Luis shows the trout still eat if you match what they want.
