Made plans to fish Rock today but ended up leaving the boat at home after reading the wind forecast. Good choice! The wind blew steady and strong, but luckily it was from the South so my son and I could still fish effectively from the shoreline at the launch area. Patience was finally rewarded and Rock didn't disappoint... two 'bows, 17" and 20" and one brown, 17". Caught the 'bows using a slip bobber and bait, set about fifteen feet deep. Caught the brown while casting a fly. Interesting thing, the brown was followed by two others (about the same size) all the way to the bank. Evident that they are attempting to spawn.

What type of bait do you use? Do you just put the bait on a plain hook or something else?

Hello KCDEIFE, normally I'd go with worms but lately I've been trying the GULP Leeches. I know there are leeches in Rock, and so far I've had good success using these baits. I use a wide gap hook that allows for a better horizontal presentation of the bait. I prefer the black 3" GULP leech. Add a couple split shot up the line about 20" to get the bait down quickly (and make your bobber stand up). Good luck!
