I have told this story before but again......
I once stocked fingerling HSB in a "grow-out" pond full of FHM and CNBG. This crop of HSB were forage trained and NEVER became pellet trained. They could be caught ONLY on lures and flies.
I catch HSB on flies and lures but it is too convenient to fish pellet flies and Stubby Steves.
I agree it's hard NOT to catch HSB.
