#2104, "RE: Lopez or Santa Margarita?" In response to In response to 0
I've always done better at Lopez for trout. I don't know how guys are doing right now, but the recent plants should be kicking things into gear. I'd say that Cottonwood cove is probably your best bet. The best bait to use would probably be an inflated crawler or rainbow powerbait. Experiment with both, sometimes they'll hit one and not the other. Roostertails and small rapalas work well also. Also, if you don't get bit in like 20 minutes or so, walk down the bank and try different spots. At times, i've sat and watched guys reeling them in while I got nothing and vice versa. So changing locations can definetly improve your catch.-Phil
