[quote=Q, Now, the HSB have taken back to feeding on pellets...big swirls and splashing at feeding time...just teasing me! They won't touch any crank bait, big trout flies, HBG YOY or big grasshoppers under a bobber (at any depth), rubber worms...nothing.

i have caught 2 of the 6" HSB that i stocked 50+/- days ago. One on a live worm, and one on a small topwater dry fly. i feed every day, and have NEVER seen any of my 20 come up for pellets. imo it's darn near impossible to see them, or tell.
