We tried drift fishing with Pautzke single salmon eggs, but there is not any salmon spawning

and the trout were not interested, so I switched to backtrolling. We had 2 double hookups and landed several other rainbows from 1.5-3 pounds using LilFatfish. I am expecting the trout fishing to just get better!!
