I'm going to head up into the hills behind Calabogie for specs... anyone else have any end of season trout fishing plans?

Most likely will troll with small spoons and/or spinners, but usually will be most successfully with worms under a slip bobber. Should I be trying something else?

Thanks, Buzzer

Flies

Wooly Buggers? Have 2 fly rods but don't cast well and there're currently floating line.... tie one on a small spinner rod?

You don't have to cast well at all, just troll with them. Size 10 Woolly Buggers in olive, black, or brown. A floating line with a long leader will be fine.

If you wanted too you could tie it on your spinning rod . Tie in your Woolly Bugger behind an inline spinner or spoon (remove the hook and tie a 3-4 foot section of mono, then tie on your fly).

Thanks a million Salar!

I'll be trying that... always looking for something new... especially once I don't catch one after the aforementioned tactics have been used.

Trolling I've been using small spoons and spiners, mostly Blue Fox spiners and spoons by a few of the popular brands. Haven't been successfull and tried many speeds and depths when trolling. Any trolling advice or maybe in these smaller lakes no electric motor and sonar is the best?

Lop dew worm overboard and wait for a strike , might take awhile




Or you can bring out the speckle trout magnet A.K.A. Black Mepps spinner

Troll slow. When you think you're going slow enough, go slower. In the fall, troll in water 20 feet deep or less. That's where the food is, so that's where the trout will be trying to fatten up for the winter.
