In all my years of dealing with and angling for pellet trained LMB that were in ponds with natural foods available, I have never had trouble catching those LMB. Now once you create hook smart LMB (aka hook shy LMB) then that becomes a problem catching LMB. At this point one has to be smarter than the hook smart LMB to catch them. I will look up an article about this Dr Dave Willis (fishery professor) and I wrote about this topic in a past article in PBoss magazine. Stay tuned.
Read more about hook smart LMB in the Common Q&A Archives section.
