2024 Day 6: Putting in work to find and catch Rainbow trout after a cold front.

Fishing at the top of the Okanagan Connector in a notoriously difficult lake. Things look so promising first thing in the morning with fish jumping everywhere. I managed to catch a few fish by searching and being persistent. Success was found using chironomids and booby patterns.

Sometimes you gotta just will it!

Great stuff again, Bob! I really look forward to these videos coming out and I'm picking up lots of info. I fished this lake twice this week (June 24 and 26) with some mixed results. Chronny hatches were insane both days but the fish were gorging on leeches and adult mayflies on the surface as well. Can you expand a bit on your set up when you were stripping with the booby? I've only been fishing them under an indicator but I'm interested in that method as I've heard it talked about a few times now.

[@bobtistaoutdoors]

Absolutely. I use the Rio fathom WF6S7 and about a 5 foot leader of 8lb seaguar Tatsu fluorocarbon. I cast it out then strip out about 10ft of line and just let it sink for as long to get it to the bottom and just strip back with usually short 6-8 inch strips until it comes back. I always try to incorporate pauses randomly as well

@@bobtistaoutdoors Sounds great, I'll be giving that a try tomorrow. Are you using an intermediate or full sinking line for this method or does it matter much?
