Most efficient trout method at the Saugatuck Reservoir?
Message:
Hi, I am originally from Europe and carp fishing is probably one of the most popular there, so I have that one figured out pretty much.
However I would like to master trout fishing at lakes like the Saugatuck Reservoir and local rivers possibly.
What would be the most efficient trout fishing technique at the Saugatuck? My favorite is float fishing, but reading all about techniques like Texas rigging, not sure if that would be the best way...
I went three times within the last two weeks and managed to hook one trout on the first day using Power Bait garlic paste on a float but it jumped out of my hands, unhooked itself and ran away :(
That was about it, nothing since that one incident... I constantly see somebody around fishing with a spinner or similar but I never see anybody catch anything...
Any clues would be highly appreciated!

In streams with spinning gear and light mono or fluoro line, try a three or four inch stick bait, like a Floating Rapala. The Yellow Perch pattern is good. Matching the hatch is nice and all, but trout are piscivores and won't pass up a smaller fish. You'll show up the fly fishermen. :wink: In lakes with colder water, lipless crankbaits in silver or golden shiner colors work, too.

Krocodile spoons. Cast and let sink. Retrieve.
Weighted slip bobbers with a lot of line below them and a big shiner. Have to experiment with different depths.
Also try an egg sinker about 3/4 oz with a shiner.
These are tips for the reservoir, not streams.
