Favorite early season trout lure

[acaravaglia]

Early = Spinners, rooster tails and panther martins. Some years gold, some years silver. For the breeders in the ponds, cant go wrong with a 1/2 oz. cast master.

few weeks in, all about the plugs. 2"-3" repalas.

I like those little prop blade rooster tails. The smallest ones they make

By far the CD3 rapala.....CANNOT fish with bait....these lures are so effective for numbers and GIANT trout......they really should be outlawed they are just that good........Capt. Dave

Thought for sure you were going to say that "Trout" was your favorite bait! I hear Muskys love'em!

I have used Rapalas, Mepps, Rooster Tails which are all great lures.
But when fishing a lake or reservoir during stocking Thomas spoons
are awesome.

Plain old Panther Martin, gold, 1/16 oz. It will catch anything and everything but especially trout. Pinch dem barbs down!
