I was watching My Outdoor TV toady when I found an interesting video named "Trout Don't Have Eyelids" by Scott Linden.  He explains why trout remain out of the sun light; and where they are likely to be found.  In my experience, this is especially indicative of Brown Trout.  This is a good free video to check out and well worth the short Ford truck commercial you will have to wait out.

Tommy Sliker is an alumni of TroutU who has the talent of catching fish wherever he happens to fish.  Here is a picture of him that was recently posted on a blog.  This is a lunker trout caught, I suspect, on the Davidson River in North Carolina.  While at the TroutU, Tommy was an avid student of trout fishing using both the fly rod and the spinning outfit.  His recent outing to a secret location in North Carolina yielded three trout, all over 12 inches.   All three were caught on Rapala lures.
