TroutTechniqueInline SpinnersSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDamDecent trout have been stocked below the Percy Priest Dam. I caught one on an inline spinner on my new Expride rod. It cast the spinner incredibly well and loaded up great when the fish hit it. I was able to keep the fish pinned and play it incredibly easily with the rod.

Took my brother out to Percy Priest lake after the Bass Master Classic to dial in my electronics for an upcoming fishing trip. My brother decided to drag around a black and blue Senko on a carolina rig around rock and got a nice 19 inch smallmouth. With it being spring time he drags and hops around the senko pretty quick to trigger a reaction bite.
