    roughly 24 oz quick grits
    juice from one can of corn
    a good bit of molasses
    baby rice cereal to help fluff it out

    Place one or two corn pops on the hook and then pack it pretty good into golf ball sized lumps around your hook and pops.
  • These are trout waters and by RI rules that means no chumming, no corn. So boilies, glugs and maple peas were on the menu. I had a few good hits on some homemade Scopex flavored boilies but no hook ups.

    The one I did manage to catch was on Maple peas, two on a short hair, with a 2 oz semi-fixed bolt rig.
