[quote wiperhunter2]Well that is interesting, I've never heard of someone trolling with minnow for trout. How fast were you trolling and how do you rig your minnows? I've actually considered trying this at Bear lake and use something like a JP rig.[/quote]
I hook them right through the eye and always rig a small brightly colored stinger hook. I would say 50% or more of my hookups on the stinger -- really cuts down on short strike misses.
I can't explain it, but I've found that on some Utah lakes that is a killer rig. On others, not so much.
