Stampede Reservoir Fishing Report | July 28, 2025

I’ve been fishing the Brady Bug for years, and it’s one of those soft baits that produces wild trout in situations where everything else gets ignored. It’s made in the USA by the team at Igottworms — real fishing people who understand what wild trout are looking for. The Bug profile mimics a wide range of aquatic invertebrates that trout target throughout the season, and its soft, natural feel means fish hold on rather than ejecting immediately. Three proven color patterns in this 5-pack give you options for varying water clarity and light conditions wherever you’re fishing wild fish.

Uncle Larry's Hoochies are some of the most productive squid-skirt lures in the kokanee and trout trolling category — vibrant colors, exceptional in-water action, and a proven track record on Western fisheries from Shasta to the Eastern Sierra. The hoochie skirt design produces a breathing, pulsating motion behind a dodger that kokanee and rainbow trout find irresistible at the slow trolling speeds their fisheries demand. Available in 18 color patterns covering the full range of bright, UV, and natural tones that produce in varying light and depth conditions throughout the season.
