Fishing for trophy trout with Morone swimbaits
A giant Mackinaw trout that eat a Morone swimbait slow trolled while fishing Buck's Lake in Northern California. |
When it comes to giant trophy trout the massive girth then adorn is for a reason. we have a video of this fish with two Kokanee salmon down its throat. This did not stop this Buck's lake Mackinaw from calling this Morone Pond Smelt swimbait his third coarse. We make a Kokanee swimbait that we will be fishing exclusivly on Friday. We are hoping to turn the record books in our direction over the next month or so, stay tuned.
There are rainbow trout lurking in places you fish often. hooking one on light tackle ends in a break of in most cases. Grab a bigger line and spool up with some line a few sizes up from your norm. Spend some time working the Morone swimbaits in likely areas or areas you have metered with large marks on your fish finder. These monster trout eat small trout for snacks if that gives you a big hint on what to do next. For rainbows try the Morone Hatchery Stocker or the Morone Native rainbow trout swimbait. Bass Tackle Depot in Oroville California is running a promo sale to get the lures in peoples hands to try out. Big trout are worth your time even if your a die hard bass fisher. Try slow trolling these on the way back to the dock or cast them from shore. Most of us enjoy time patrolling the shoreline on foot. It serves as a great past time when the weather and winds call a boating outing off. Enjoy the new Morone swimbaits and build your collection today.
The Morone swimbaits can also be found at http://www.irideus.com 24 hours a day.
GO FISH
Check out the videos on facebook and stay tuned for the utube footage coming soon from the local crew.

COMING SOON~Irideus Morone Trophy Striper & Bass Swimbaits and custom fly fishing flies are about to be unveiled, got predator fish?
COMING SOON~Irideus Morone Trophy Striper & Bass Swimbaits and custom fly fishing flies are about to be unveiled. The Morone Series Trophy Striper and Bass swimbaits bring a personal touch to the game of stalking the giant predator gamefish that are lurking in the depths of inhospitable waters.
Living in the shadow of Feather Falls Canyon and Oroville lake in California we rub elbows often with the people who chase these trophy fish for fun. There is no doubt that America's use of Dams has changed mother natures work, and true intentions we believe for the intention of free flowing water ways. These Dams create a network of drains and flows controlled by man. We are die hard fly fisherman at heart leaning towards steelhead spey casting approaches. Not much help when your fly line hits the water and is pulled under like a worm in an ocean hurricane. As you begin to spend time around these controlled cement nightmares, you begin to understand the massive project going on behind dam walls and all your experience goes out the window. The erratic surface currents with deep underwater drains making under currents produce a whirl pool of rip currents extending up from the bottom structure. This is not fly fishing water. This is the land of the giants and home the fish that have become monsters from living and feeding in this inhospitable zone. After years of pulling a few fish on flies, frustration kicked in and we went back to the drawing board. We first began casting giant flies on conventional tackle. The person we know, with the heaviest fish on record in California, let us struggle to do things our way. This lead to a relationship that will go down in the history books. We started taking a few days a month to put the fly rods down and went along with with our friend. There is no doubt that the countless hours of steelhead spey casting had dulled our senses for the attack of a monster predator fish on a swimbait. When a striper turns out to be a 13 lb brown trout, well its just fine with us. We have feeling some of the hook jawed spotted yellow friends we will be running into will have a few fly casters we know headed our way. The feelings of childhood casts with friends came back and new bonds and relationships were formed with a group of people we may have missed if it was not for our love to see the monster fish living in the man made zones unfit for any normal fish of any species. It has been great fun to be allowed to go out with some of the local Bass pro fisherman. Fly fisherman get a bad rap sometimes by the professional bass masters but our crew will win over even the toughest of them with passion for the pursuit of trophy striper and Bass with swimbaits. The Morone Swimbait and fly fishing fly project has been something that we know will inspire many other people in the world to chase down the fish unseen by most people. It has been a true honor to have some of the local bass pros using our flies and also making there own inspired by our conversations. The fact that we still offer a fly box 100 % made in the USA is also worthy of kudos from the bass circuit and industry. Many guys find the GreenWater fly fishing boxes will hold an array of swim baits in place even when driving 70 miles an hour across the lake. Be ready for the Irideus Morone Trophy Striper and Bass swimbait series that will be public in less than two weeks. We are looking forward to the smiles these swimbaits bring around the world. Pike, musky and giant brown trout fishers will find a very special offering in the Irideus Morone swimbait series. We look forward to getting the first ones on the water very soon so keep an eye on the blog. There will be some very exiting action found here.
Irideus is sending a big thank you out to all the people who have taken time to fish with us and make this project the real deal. Welcome to our new friends around the globe find your trophy striper and bass swimbaits here.
We will be setting up pre orders this week. Die Hard Swim Bait fans can add these to your trophy lure collection in about a week on the http://www.irideus.com website. They are sure to be a big hit!
