I am going to Deer Creek Friday morning to get some smb, but I am taking a buddy who will want to try for some trout as well. I have no idea how to get trout. I see a lot of boats trolling and a bunch in the north end sitting together, I assume they are fishing for trout? I have rapalas I could troll, I need some knowledge on getting a few trout. Not my area, what should I use, how are they being caught? Any help is appreciated!!!!

We've had great luck trolling the north end with rainbow rapallas and wolly bugger flies recently. We actually start trolling about a mile south of the "congregation" of bait boats and run about 100-200 yards off the rocky shore line.

I hear the bait fishing with PB is productive, but that isn't my specialty

Thanks for the info, how deep are you fishing them? What color wolly bugger flies? Thanks!

We were fishing very shallow... although I heard from others fishing deeper was working too.

Personally I had either one small sinker on or none at all.

We used brown wollies tied right to the line with no sinkers.
