Description:
N/A
Fish
Rainbow or steelhead trout
Description:
Ever popular among Indiana anglers is the trout family, which includes the brown, lake and rainbow or steelhead trout. Many fisherman can be spotted on the shores during spawning season when the trout begin their runs into the tributaries. Rainbow or steelhead trout have a white mouth, teeth and gums and small black spots on their backs, sides, and caudal and dorsal fins. The caudal fin margin of the rainbow or steelhead trout is square and the fish has 9-12 anal fin rays.
Bait: Shrimp, spawn bags, spinners
Depth: Creek: Deeper holes and runs
Comments about fish:
With water temps hovering in the lower 30's F, anglers need to present their offerings low & slow. Try bouncing spawn sacs, skein, nightcrawlers or pieces of shrimp just off the bottom through the deepest holes.
Comments about body of water:
As of this morning (2/11/2011), most of Trail Cr is frozen except riffle areas. Expect similiar conditons on the western tribs. With warmer temperatures forecasted for the region, creeks will start to slowly open up over the next couple of days. The harbor in MC is frozen.
