Nor Cal Trout Anglers Challenge
VOL.38 • ISS. 23
Go Big, Go Fast… Or Go Big, Go Slow For Collins Lake Trout!
S
ome anglers like to troll quickly in
the fall, hunting for large aggressive
trout that are ready to be triggered into
making a reaction strike. Other anglers
prefer a slower approach. These guys feel
that big fish are old and smart and in order
to draw a strike from them the lure has
to hang out in the strike zone as long as
possible.
The one thing these two groups of
anglers agree on is that in the fall when the
trout put on the feedbag in preparation for
winter, big fish usually want a substantial
meal and will seek our large forage over
small forage.
The Mack’s Lure Team has both the “Go
Big, Go Fast” and the “Go Big, Go Slow”
fishing clubs covered. Let’s look closer!
Go Fast With Magnum Hum Dinger Spoons
Not only is Gary Miralles, formerly
of the Shasta Tackle Company a master
tackle designer, he’s also a super talented
trout angler and long time guide. Gary’s
darling of darling
lures when it was
time to hook big
trout is the big half
ounce Hum Dinger.
“I think guys are
scared to use my
big Hum Dinger,”
Gary used to lament
• Cafe • RV Park • Waterslide
to me. “If they’d try
• Campground • Disc Golf
them and pull them
• General Store
fast, they’d find
Cafe Open Seasonally On
out that big trout
really like slamming
Friday, Saturday & Sundays
them.”

speed for pulling big Hum Dingers. And
I couldn’t agree with Gary’s assertion
more. The big Hum Dinger is a great big
trout lure! In fact, the biggest trout I’ve
ever caught at Pyramid Lake came on a
standard issue chrome and blue half ounce
Hum Dinger.
I’ve always done well
with chrome and blue
and black magnum
Hum Dingers,
but rumor has it
that Mack’s Lure is
supposed to unveil a full line
of half ounce Hum Dingers in all new
colors.
Go Slow With Super Wedding Ring Spinners
I’ll bet most of us think of the same
thing when we think about trout fishing
with a Wedding Ring Spinner. We
visualize a small size 10 red Wedding
Ring with a chrome or brass blade tipped
with a half inch piece of worm.
That’s a killer combo for sure, but if
you want to go big and target big trout
that lure just isn’t going to fill the bill.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could get our
hands on a really big Wedding Ring that
we could tip with half a full size night

Well they are great.
Wedding Rings are
offered
in a
full line
of sizes from
tiny models tipped with size 10 hooks and
big “SUPER” models sporting a No. 4
hook. This is a lure that stays in the strike
zone for a long period, the blade draws
fish from long distances and when a trout
sees the lure and worm combo it sees a
substantial easy to catch meal…BOOM!

Collins Lake Rental Boat!

wo Story Patio Boat: Our two story patio party boats are
available from sunrise to sunset and are a great way to
relax on the lake. The upper deck is open to the warm sun and
has a
gated
water
slide
(two
styles,
spiral or
straight)
for kids
that
lands in
the cool
water.
There’s
a coal barbecue off the bow and a changing room with a portable
toilet so you can stay out all day. Plastic deck chairs and a table
are already on-board which makes it easy to set up for a party.
One Story Patio Boat: One story patio party boats are a great
compliment to their two story cousin. They feature the same
lower deck space, person capacity, chairs, tables, portable toilet,
swim ladder and barbecue. The half cover canvas top keeps the
back shady and cool while the open bow and stable platform
make casting a rod as easy as fishing from shore. The large deck
and side benches make for easy parties. These boats are the most
versatile of our fleet.
Standard Fishing Boat: These classic aluminum fishing boats
will quickly take you anywhere wherever the fish are! All of our
boats use 4-stroke engines which mean a quieter, cleaner day on
the lake. Whether you’re trolling the dam or fishing among the
rushes or just touring the lake you’ll benefit from the agility of
this popular boat.-www.collinslake.com.
