Camp Creek is a neat little stream and is easy to fish (all c&r). The river itself through Preston offers plenty of browns and plenty of spots to try your luck. Preston will host its own "Trout Days" the weekend of May 21st.

I image the Root is pretty high right now(Sorry.. haven't been south in about a week).. but if you go to Preston.. Camp creek has a lot of accessible spots from the bike path...

here is a link to Accessible Trout Streams...

Yeah, I went by the Root in Preston today, and it's still high.

and just north of Preston is Trout Run.. which boasts nearly 10,000 trout per mile..

also mill creek(on the map above) is supposed to be really good.. i've never gone that far west though personally..

All the regs you see on those maps are in effect right now. Winter season has a different set of regs, and only certain creeks are open to fishing.

Pay attention when you pull up to a stream, as at most access points you will find a DNR sign that states clearly the regulations that are in effect.

I'll second that, make sure you pay attention to the regs as they differ from stream to stream. As for the streams I've always been a fan of Trout Run, and Forestville area. Trout Run because it is artificial only and Forestville because I took my first every fly fishing course and caught my first trout there.

I see a few good places I want to try on trout run but am I wasting my time with spinning gear if I can't dunk a worm. Guess you can still use gulp they make a few great twisty tails that I have had lots of luck with

oh you definitely aren't wasting your time with spinning gear, sans worms

try out the smallest two sizes of husky jerks, or some larger spinners. great big-fish baits

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
