Lake Billy Chinook is always on the minds of anglers in the spring to hunt the hunters. Big Bull Trout are a draw for many, and who doesn’t like to try to fool a trophy like that? All the arms offer something special, with the Metolius Arm always considered to be the #1 place for Bulls, but that is not necessarily true. Stripping streamers on sink tips and full sinking lines, and also dangling heavy streamers or using balanced and bead heads under an indicator, usually close to the banks will be effective ways to catch all kinds of fish, from Bulls to Bass to Browns.
