GO TO for Trout................
 

With this lousy weather that won't let up I've been doing a little spring cleaning - going thru my tackle and getting ready for opening day! I know not everyone on the site trout fishes but a large majority of us do so.......
What's Your GO TO bait or lure for Trout? Whether you fish the streams and rivers or lakes, When it's on the line what's YOUR CHOICE??????

Mine is a nice juicy baby crawler or a Mike's Deluxe salmon egg!!!!
And as I've said before I'm mostly a BAIT GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey GetaNet I'm a bait guy to. My favorite has to be a Mikes Shrimp Egg, seconds a meal worm, then a baby crawler or a salt minnow all floated under a bobber. My buddy Tom usually fishes artificials so we have the best of both and who ever hits we'll both go to that. But I must admit I'm a little stubborn, I like my bait.

A 1/16 oz white rooster tail, or an all silver panther martin are my go to lures. Bait wise my number one choice would be free worms you get from your backyard, and then if I have money I;ll get butter worms.

AHHHHHH, a couple Rooster Tails, a couple Rapalas and always some kind of Pheobe in my box. Then comes a container of crawlers and an emergency jar of POWER CHEEEEEEEEZE!!!! If all of that fails I have 1/4 sticks "BLOCKBUSTERS" readily available at any given time!!!:D

I've done real well with trout magnets. Kind of a shaking jigging retrieve works... vary the speeds, drift, etc to find where fish are and what they want.

catches other fish as well :)

I've n e v e r done well with eggs of any sort. Do you salt and harden them up before using? always seem to just pop off and / or if I do get them out there... picked off with being detected.:confused:
