Went out today for trout, but the dam was being let out so the water was to dingy to catch anything. Also wading in muddy water is a really bad idea. I was prodding around with my rod to check the depth before i step anywhere and that saved me from plunging in about 5 feet of cold trout stream. But it was nice to put the waders back on.

The thicker millimeter waders do wonders for keeping your body warm under cold water. I used to fish trout in streams during winter-spring when I was a lot younger and never had to worry about cold anything. You can get a decent pair of waders for about $99. I still use my waders for shad fishing in the Delaware river every spring to summer.
Some my best trout fishing is during the spring when the rivers are high and muddy from spring run off. I use small spinners in black and gold have never let me down even when the water looks like chocolate. When the water gets muddy stay away from live baits and flies. Switch to something you can cast and reel in fast and cover more water. Other choices would be small rapalas and other cranks and other inline spinners.likestofish;4758584; said:

but what is the bottom of the river like? With the Chattahoochee whenever they let the dam release water the bottom changes radically. So im not risking it its not worth getting swept away for a trout. Also because the bottom keeps changing and the river is very wide i cant move around much.
that part I understand I dont bother spening much time in the water during such conditions and fish from the bank when I can.likestofish;4759554; said:

What application do you use that dark green and black line in? New setups look nice.

This year my goals are to land atleast one 6 pound LMB and to land a musky!
I'll start off with the first post of the year with a update from today!
1-2
Today NJ had a high of 51 so I made some time to pick up a 2K11 fishing license and see if I could find some unthawed water to play with my new toys. First stop of the day was "Etra" it still had ice on the shore line but the middle was open. I didnt care I had to cast. The "curado" seems to be everything I throught it would be and paired with the "abu garcia Veritas" 6'6 MH makes for one nice combo, I cant wait to feel it under load! Also I broke in a cheap Johhny Morris I brought on sale at Bass Pro. Its a nice reel for the money!
The second thing I founded unthawed was the D&R canal(whitehead rd) but I didnt see any action there either. No fished landed but it fought so GOOD to be fishing!!!
Its a little early but the hunt for my first fish is on!!
