Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Trout season is around the corner

What’s your favorite spring lure besides trout worms of course

Super duper brass with red tip

Rooster tail

a midge soft hackle size 16 for lakes.

Worden Rooster Tail (been using panther Martin last couple years as well).

Been doing pretty well on chartreuse power bait as of lately. Forgot how well it works in stocked rainbows.

Went down to the local river last night for steelhead. Rigged beads on my Sage Vantage.

River was up so high and moving so fast - I was in the water 15 minutes before that voice screaming in my head got loud enough I listened. Damned dangerous and stupid. Over my waist 3 feet from the bank which was up about 10 feet from normal.

Generally I use Trout Beads or glo bugs.

Usually start with a Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear.

No contest. Trout magnets.

Wooly booger w spinner if using spinning gear.

Tiny pale yellow deal dad and I tie on a 1/100 oz. head.

Reminds me of a meal worm or wax worm.

May post pics later.

Busy trying to catch a fish at a local creek right now.

If not worms it’s the Rooster Tail or Panther Martin spinners. Soon the bugs will be out in full force on the streams.
