Great question 5X MA....Im probably going down their for the weekend myself and would love to get a few rainbows on the hook. I've never fished for them in the boat at Bower. So any other suggestions and tips would be great ?

Do bottom bouncers and any certian lures work their ?? Minnows or worms or somthing different ?

lindy rigs with power bait work good to try different colors. try split shot rigs with power bait to.

Do you mean the orange power bait trout paste

[thedeerhunter1982]

sure but the best color i found there is marshmallow.its pink and white swirl with a little glitter in it. but its good to try different colors.

we got in the water at Bower once for maybe 45mins, tried the powerbait with worms on jigs and spinners with no luck. Then it started to get rainy and we left....wasnt much of a weekend for fishing, and I hate this wind!
