Collins Lake Fishing Report | July 14, 2025

The Trix Minnow is a lifelike soft bait designed to match the exact profile and swimming action of the baitfish that rainbow trout and landlocked salmon key in on during their prime feeding windows throughout the season. Its slender body and subtly cupped paddle tail produce a natural, fluid motion at trolling speeds that stiffer, bulkier baits are mechanically incapable of replicating. That difference in action is what drives strikes when fish are being selective. Fish it behind a dodger on a drop-back leader, rig it on a Trix Rigging Kit for a head-forward presentation, or run it solo with a scent application for a streamlined finesse rig. Available in 12 proven color patterns.

The Trix Minnows 25-Pack is the bulk supply of Catch America's most productive soft bait, enough to cover a full season of serious trout trolling without running out at the wrong moment. Each minnow's slender body and paddle tail create a natural, fluid swimming motion at trolling speeds that stiffer baits simply can't replicate, and the profile exactly matches the baitfish rainbow trout and landlocked salmon key in on during prime feeding windows. The assortment spans the core colors proven across California and Western trout fisheries, so you can rotate through patterns until you dial in what the fish want on any given day.

The Catch America 6-inch Stainless Steel Trolling Dodger is the standard-bearer of the kokanee and trout troll, a wide-swinging attractor that pulls fish in from the surrounding water column while imparting action to any trailing lure. Premium stainless steel construction holds its shape and finish through a full season of hard use without the distortion and corrosion that compromise cheaper alloy dodgers over time. The 6-inch size delivers the ideal balance of attractor flash and line drag, making it compatible with everything from medium-action kokanee rods to heavier downrigger setups. Available in 10 proven finish options including Moon Jelly, 24K Gold, Black Diamond, and Green Diamond.
