Excellent. Thanks for the responses everyone. I've never tried to fish in the river past 3rd dam. The laws make it sound like they banned a certain season due to spawning and that there could possible be some good fishing up there. Has anyone fished in that area before and found luck? What did you use, where were you?
I Fished at 1st 2nd and 3rd dam yesterday...we got a few bites, but never actually landed any.
1st dam is tricky, just North of the highway I've seen several decent sized trout for Logan River (1lbs or so), but I can't ever get the ones there to bite anything no matter what I've tried or what time of day.
2nd dam is similar, but I catch them there once in a while, usually with powerbait or brownish fly looking lures with gold or silver metal pieces attached.
3rd dam is usually pretty good right by the dam, but most of the fish are between 9-12 ounces. Occasionally we get one a bit bigger, but most of the time they're about 10-11 ounce rainbows. Usually the fly looking spinners work well. A LOT of people I've met up there use hamburger (I met a guy last year that caught over 50 fish in just a few hrs with it). Is hamburger legal to use? I guess it would be...I just have red meat power bait anyway. The albino trout are hard to catch, they nibble a lot, but it's relatively rare for them to ever get landed, it's kind of funny. I see a lot of brown/brook trout but they never bite either. Any suggestions for them?
