The largest fish I hooked (and broke off) that was a trout was in the thick of the action and probably eating protein rich eggs. The fish will definitely take advantage of the additional food source for the next few days. <br /><br />Speaking of scuds and sow bugs, I've seen more of them in the river this year than anytime I remember this early in the year. The moss and weeds on the river bottom should bring about a fantastic year for the fishing!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!David Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480485571834164857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32835299.post-62714264215983364812014-04-19T20:34:35.785-05:002014-04-19T20:34:35.785-05:00Thanks!

Once I got away from them I had some decent luck with scuds and sowbugs #16 and 20 on a sinking tip line.Pappy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05771828047391783988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32835299.post-19229876761658070072014-04-19T11:58:21.889-05:002014-04-19T11:58:21.889-05:00Nice report David!
