Thread: Fussy/lazy trout

I have this irrigation intake/pond on my new farm and it's full of trout, nice 2-4lb fish and there's plenty in there, can see the buggers crusing the edges and drop offs, beautiful clear water, obviously I haven't added enough cow shit and nitrogen to it.
Had a go at the trout a few evenings now and managed to land one the other night, just been using 70mm body Rapalas in various colours from rainbow smelt, to bright pink, to more natural brown and greens.
I have had a strike on each of the lures but the fish aren't really commiting and the strikes feel more like "curiosity" rather than a full on "im gonna eat this thing"
Apart from the one I landed I have failed to set a hook on anything else.
The pond has a bit of current around the edges and drops away reasonably deep especially along one side, it is also not a uniform depth so has a few other drop offs out in the middle.
Would I be better trying to drift a soft bait along the drop offs and through the current along the side of the pond?
Any other suggestions? Im not a fresh water fisherman by any means so need all the help I can get!
