This time of year, local wildlife agencies stock local reservoir that are deep and full of oxygen. Usually in the summer they stay in the deep cold pockets on the bottom but in the winter they move to the middle column or up to the surface searching forinsects or baitfish. In the Southern and Western Highland reservoirs, trolling deep diving crankbaits and reef runners along humps or bluffs ⬇️⬇️⬇️

      Dang @Topwater_Pro I've had that happen to me too, my hypothesis is that they fill them up on trout food then stock them. Well that can be our excuse lol

      Ahhhh..... Got skunked again today... Was fishing 1/8 oz rooster tail(white), casting near where the fish would occasionally surface. They just stocked 2k in there ...more today too. @Skouting_Reports

      Try Kastmasters (1/8oz) with a slow retrieve near the bottom with occasional jerks to produce flash. If you find where the trout are throw some powerbait, nightcrawlers ...more or salmon eggs on a split shot

      Like in the report, try to find any current (stream, springs, fountain) or any deep pools with oxygen. Roostertails (1/6-1/8oz) or Panther Martins will be your best ...more bet. Just a steady retrieve. Also

      what if the ponds don't have any type of current what do we look for?

      (streams entering the pond, springs, fountains, deep pockets) with powerbait on the bottom or steady retrieve with a spinner or spoon.

      Other jigs very rapidly and aggressively are catching big rainbows, tipping the jigs with minnows catch fish when they are lethargic. In city ponds where they stock ...more rainbows fish any source of current
