1368.0. "Quinsig Trout" by CNTROL::SALMON () Fri Mar 23 1990 12:19

    A friend and I have fished different parts of Quinsig 3 times this past 
    week, and haven't come up with 1 bite. Since we usually fish for Bass,
    and we've been going out for Trout, I was wondering if someone out
    there knows of any Trout "hot spots"? So far, we've used everything
    from Pinhead Shiners, worms, lures, to Salmon eggs, and we've come up
    with nothing. We've been to Sunset Beach, the Boat House in Shrewsbury,
    and up by the 290 bridge. Does the fluctuating air temperature have a
    direct bearing on thier feeding habits? Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.

1368.1trout feeding habits?TOMCAT::PRESTONFor Duty and Humanity!Fri Mar 23 1990 12:527
    Also, while we're discussion trout habits, does anyone have experience
    with their feeding patterns, for instance, do they feed heavily at
    certain times like first thing in the morning and at dusk. Seems like
    when I've fished at Walden I arrive just in time to miss the action...

RE .1

	I'm no trout expert but the places you've just desribed are good Bass 
hangouts. Most of the Trout are up at the North end of the lake which sounds 
like you never went up that far. The north end of the lake at the back of the 
Fallon Clinic has the deepest water and that's where you'll see most folks 
fishing for Trout. Good luck.

1368.3Tell ya what I sawSOFBA1::SULLIVANTue Mar 27 1990 11:3812
    
    I was out 3/24 and 3/25. Spotted alot of trout on the graph between
    the 290 bridge and the house that everyone fishes from. I was in 16
    feet and the trout were down 10 feet. Caught 1 on a gitzit. Also 
    on the other side of the lake in front of Sunset Beach. I watched a
    couple of kids clean-up eith some nice 15" rainbo's. These fish were
    shallow and in the weeds in 7 feet of water.
    
    Hard to figure--

1368.5I have caught lots of trout with gitzits.MRBASS::BPUISHYSBob PuishysTue Mar 27 1990 13:418
    I almost caught a 16" rainbow on webster saturday with a smoke gitzit.  It
    came up at in on the way out of the water.  It saw the boat the started
    back down.  I stop the bait and started to lower my rod it, the trout
    came back up and slamed it, Well I slammed back, oops trout lips are
    not like bass :^(

1368.6LOTS OF LIP :-)GENRAL::HUNTERfrom SUNNY Colorado, WayneTue Mar 27 1990 14:037
    re. -.1
    Bassin Bob,
    	If all you were catching was the LIPS, that is going to take a LONG
    TIME to fill a frying pan.  BESIDES, if you set the hook HARD enough,
    you will likely BREAK THEIR NECKS.  Then, they just float up to the
    surface.  :-)  All I can say is that I hope the weather is good enough
    to go Toothy Critter hunting this weekend.
1368.7try this place outLUDWIG::KERSWELLTue Mar 27 1990 14:4922
    WANT TROUT, out of quinsig, heres where to go, from land or boats.
    if your next to fallon cln. looking at the water, go left towards
    the armery, after you go under the 290 passover, follow the water
    all the way to the end and you'll come to a nice big cove and you
    can find them from there, i dont think i need to give an exact loca.
    but most of the cove area is great for fishing and from shore theres
    a lot of prime locations for fishing in the area.  PS if you cant
    get any out of that area, i'll let you know where the pine trees
    were dropped, not that i fish that area often, but i like to take
    a few home now and then.
    
    another nice place for trout is off mill street in worc, across
    from the big d, i cant remember the name, OH YA!!! COES POND, has
    some beuties in it also,,, PS, DONT FORGET THE POWER BAIT, Pink
    works great in both places, so i never bothered w/the yellow.
    
    			hope this helps.
    
    HEY  Gary, when are we going to hit dorothy pond so i can show you
    the private/public boat ramp?

1368.9Quinsig TroutCNTROL::SALMONWed Mar 28 1990 10:376
    Thanks for all the info, but apparently I was doing everything right.
    Over the weekend I caught 2 real nice (14"-16") Rainbows. I used
    Shrimp scented Marshmellos with a piece of Corn. I caught both fish
    just beyond the 290 overpass, up near the Armory. I also heard they
    stocked this area of Quinsig on Monday afternoon, but I don't know how
    true this is.
1368.10Hit'em off the head they'll biteSOFBA2::SULLIVANWed Mar 28 1990 11:157
    
    Two toned gitzit. 2 1/2" dark blue top (almost black) and bright blue
    tail for rainbo's.  The smoked seems to work better for the browns. 
    It is a little tricky with a 2 ought hook though.

    Thanks Ronni, I will have to check that out.  I know there is a big
    hump/flat there loaded with a good week bed.   I never say any trees
    before.  I will pay more attention this year.
