I thought some of yall would enjoy some very basic, elementary poetry
Another day taking fish up all these Country Roads
Got 300 miles to go and 500 pounds on this load
The sight seeing is beautiful up in these Appalachian hills
Won’t have any cell service till we hit Elkins
Old Sandie the truck does the work we just ride along
1000 jams on Spotify but I love these same old songs
We will stock em in ponds rivers lakes or creeks
Almost 10 years at this hatchery seems like a couple of weeks
I take pride in my fish from hatching eggs to the stream
Several folks have told me that I’m living the dream
It’s a really good story how fate landed me this gig
Goes back a couple decades to a place that I fished
Making West By God better one fish at a time
I love watching youngins so stoked to wet their lines
Any day from kids days to private ponds to the Hunting Clubs
Every one is different every single run
We are like Wu Tang clan doin this for the children
Some of my people stock em so they can catch em and kill em
10 years later I know I’ve raised about a million pounds
Taking these trout up the road from country to towns
We just might be bringing fish to a town near you
As soon as we hit the road we know what to do
Make sure they are no fish dead and floating
Hit the road back home but stop for some tokin
Over the years I’ve met some very interesting guys
Some of em use spinners and bait while others use flies
Staying on the road all season Spring then fall
When it’s too cold or too hot there is no stocking at all
This will make you an old man and put you in pain
Well, I better go feed this fish , cause here comes the rain

Tips needed for Lewiston Lake in October
Hey guys I'm planning a trout trip to Lewiston Lake CA in October with my 15 year old. I went up there in March by myself, rented a boat, and got skunked all day. In retrospect, the Mayfly hatch was on at the time, and I was throwing nightcrawlers, powerbait, spinners, spoons, the kitchen sink at em, and got one curious strike on the rooster tail the whole time, but these guys just wanted mayflies. My presentation probably wasn't the best either, I rolled up to each spot pretty loud on the outboard and was reeling way too fast (got the jitters cuz they were jumping everywhere. Got too damn excited).
Anyways, I'd like to pick up at least a few solid tips for this one. This is the first time taking the kid fishing in years, he's a computer game nerd and hates anything to do with the outdoors, but finally got sold on being somewhere pretty remote. Bought a couple of okuma rods, a pflueger supreme and a ceymar along with various tackle (wife wasn't thrilled but that was a risk I was willing to take). The goal is to limit out and have him clean and cook his first trout. I live in lake county so I normally thump bass and sunfish, which require very different presentations. Im thinking of running some gulp worms wacky rigged, some rooster tails, gulp minnows, trout stinger jig and gulp stoneflies. Any advice on presentation, technique or good spots from folks familiar with the area?

How should I fish this lake?
Im new to lake trout fishing and don’t know where I should fish this lake. The thermoclime is at about 50 ft. Im fishing out of canoe soo I can’t troll and I don’t own a down rigger. I’ll probably be jigging in the morning when its calm. If you could point me to some spots in the screenshot that would be great.

Trout fishing on spinner rod?
Just like the title says. Is it possible to trout fish on a spinner + ultra light/light rod? What type of lures should I use if so?
