Thanks for the tip. I was actually thinking of heading up via Hwy 2 if I go (had a certain lake in mind). I’ll try and see if I can get any proper bubbles here in Seattle at Outdoor Emporium before I go.
Lots of ideas for things to try out here for me. 🙂 The Thunderbugs were a part of my smallmouth bass arsenal when I lived in Ohio but I’ve never heard of them used for trout either.
Here’s what usually produces for me:
1. Jakes Spin-a-lure (any color except black)
2. Olive Bead-Head Wooly Bugger
3. Frog-colored flatfish
4. Blue and silver Phoebe

Bob Kayne’s book Fish Don’t Think is dedicated to fishing the fly and bubble technique. It’s not perfect, and I’ve tweaked his methods to my preferences, but it’s the best publication on the subject that I know of. Essentially it’s spin reel, bubble, and fly on a fly rod. I’m still working out the perfect rod, but the system works. Monster casts are possible with this setup, allowing a much, much bigger fishing area. Best thing going for shore-fishers that I know of.
I checked out the book and it was very helpful – thanks for the advice! I’m going to try that setup on Saturday, either at an ALW or an Olympics lake. Only problem is, my casting bubbles are the solid kind that don’t allow you to fill them partway with water.
