GREAT color and healthy fish, nice !

Nice fish! im glad i motivated you to go.

small gold panther martins are the absolute best lure for trout of all sizes & species in my opinion, along with gold acme kastmasters.

Good to see you had a nice time out there.

So true, although the fly guys beg to differ or say "its not about numbers" which of course is a ridiculous statement.

Silver works well too. I use gold in low light or turbid waters. Poconos have many of those wine-colored, tannin-stained waters where the gold spinners were perfectly. Pinch barbs down for easy release. Smallies love them almost as much as trout do.
