VOL. 36 • ISS. 07 TROUT ANGLERS CHALLENGE Water Murky And Cold? Rig Up With Dave Davis and Ford Fender Flashers For Big Time Attraction When the water is murky and cold, the trout will often be lethargic and reluctant to strike. With a bunch of rain this winter and a huge snow pack in the Sierras we will likely be dealing with chilly, murky water for weeks or maybe even months. To score when faced with these challenging conditions you’ve got to tip the odds in your favor. One of the most effective things you can do is rig up with flashers and the folks at Luhr Jensen have just want you need, legendary lake trolls from Dave Davis and Ford Fender. DAVE DAVIS LAKE TROLLS Even in its smallest sizes the Dave Davis Lake Troll produces magnum caliber flash and attraction. In the largest sizes, it’s a beacon fish can see from incredible distances. Combining both willow leaf and bear valley blades, blade speed and angle are mixed, putting out an incredible amount of vibration. On large bodies of water, consider mounting a Dave Davis troll directly to a downrigger ball and cluster lures in close proximity. This can be a deadly approach for both trout and landlocked salmon. FORD FENDER LAKE TROLLS Originally fashioned in the 1930’s from the headlight reflector of a Model A Ford, few fishing products in the world have as glorious a history as the Ford Fender Lake Troll. Trolled at slow speeds, the Ford Fender produces maximum flash and vibration that draws fish from ex- tremely long distances. Experiment with distances of 18” to 48” between the Ford Fender and trailing lure as some- times fish come right to the troll and other times they like the lure back a bit further. Needle- fish, Super Dupers, small Hot Shots and similar are all excellent lure choices behind a Ford Fender.
