Catching and Grilling Trout, 4/25/2015

Perhaps the best fishing advice I can give, based on decades of fishing experience, is to observe and listen to fishermen that know certain locations, rigs, and techniques better than you, then apply it. That's what I did today. Thanks to my friends for sharing their knowledge and experience catching and cooking trout. No matter what, you have to put in the time.
The Trout Rig is basically a Carolina Rig, I guess, without the bead. PowerBait is what everyone uses on this rig. Chartreuse colored Power Eggs get it done. These durable Power Eggs haul in fish. The only thing better at dragging in farm raised trout is a net.

The Massachusetts trout stocking schedule and Massachusetts keeper regulations can be found on the Massachusetts web site.

Today I caught a well fed 15" stocked rainbow trout from Dug Pond in Natick, gutted, and barbequed it.
