It was cold and wet early afternoon at lafarge but I managed to pull out two trout with krill on a small float.

Nice to catch something again and hey tasted alright seasoned, buttered and baked. Hopefully I don't grow an extra appendange.

I've been meaning to hit Lafarge, I heard carp are suppose to be worth fishing around this time of the year. I am waiting to see if Mike Lake will be ready to fish soon.

another fishless morning at lafarge, and another fishless evening at como.

lots of risers, they just weren't having it.

felt like i was hunting cutties 

[Tenz85]

what were you using for bait \ lure?


they didn't take on krill dyed red but did hit the krill dyed yellow and I saw someone else catch one using yellow dough too.

maybe this is a brood attracted to yellow or just easy for them to find yellow given the water clarity. also noticed lots of fall foliage \debris floating about so yellow may stand out. the one trout's stomach contained quite a bit of pine bristles and other debris from vegetation along with my yellow krill.

tried chartreuse, lime, and pink powerbaits in different color combinations, as well as 6 different panther martin spinners(very small sizes) and some 3/16 crocs.

all of the top producers from previous stockings. just an unlucky few days.

might be time to put a worm under a float.

It should be good later this week when they realize they are hungry and need to eat! Also, it seems like on the fly, the fish are biting more than gear. I've tried Lafarge twice now on the fly and got 2 each time with lots more bites too.

Anyone know if Mill Lake has been stocked? I couldn't get any info on it so I assume they haven't stocked it yet. For fishing for these trout, is it better to float fish or bottom fish or is that just personal preference? I assume float fishing on a calm day and bottom fishing on a windy day?

I always found it depended on the temp of the water and time of day. Aside from the trout has anyone tried carp fishing yet at  Lafarge or it still to early?

Worms under a float was the ticket this weekend for my brother. We had a set up were he was fishing worms and I was fishing single eggs and balanced leeches under A float. The worms were the only thing that was working.

I never found Lafarge good for Carp fishing plus it would be too early right now. Go to Sturgeon Slough you'll catch carp there for sure. Go around May, June.

How big of a leader? I've tried float fishing once but I don't know what size the leader should be for these lakes.

[NexusGoo]

When ever I fish Rice or any of the other urban lakes, I've always used 4 or 6lb test. I like to use 4lb on sunny days and 6lb on cloudy/rainy days.

From my swivel to the hook it is around 2 feet wit a split shot above the hook And A small sensitive float. For the fish they stock you don't need to over think it just make sure you use a light line.

[Humpy]

Thanks, is the split shot above the hook or the swivel? And from float to swivel what would the distance be?

The last time I was at Sturgeon Slough there was a huge carp idly swimming less than 6 feet from me. I only had Bass lures with me that day and was kicking myself. I'd say that was probably June last year.
