I also fish with Trout-A-Control lures. I like the Ranger and so do the trout! Nice thing about the lures is that they come with 2 single hooks which makes releasing easier. Haven't had any issues with hook ups.

What he said! They make spoons as well but I love the ranger. Caught a gorgeous brook trout on one the first time I ever used one. The guy who owns the company is a stand up guy, last time I bought 2 he threw in an extra one for free. They're beautiful lures too!

I stumbled upon them on Instagram and started a conversation with him. He asked me for my address and shipped me a few lures for free to test. I was shocked, that doesn't happen to often. Since then I purchased a few more and have been very happy with them.

A not-so-secret lure for stocked trout is a piece of tan/brown foam rubber about the size and shape of a pellet of Purina trout chow.

Yeah he's great, gave him feedback via instagram and had some good conversation. Love a company that truly backs their products and will go the extra mile.

Forget the bubble get yourself a glass fly rod off ebay. They're a blast! Work good for stream smallies too.

For spin fishing in streams or lakes it's spinners (Vibrax, Rooster Tail, Panther Martin) and small spoons (Little Cleo, Kastmaster, Warrior, Phoebe) and sometimes a small Rapala or Binsky. In streams I also dunk worms, salmon eggs and various Power Baits on a line with a split shot about 2 - 3 feet from the hook. This is all done on UL tackle.

Flyfishing I mostly throw nymphs on a sinking tip line such as Gold Ribbed Hares Ear and Pheasant Tail and Prince. Also Wooley Buggers (black or olive, beadhead and plain), Muddler Minnows and Grey Ghost streamers. I rarely use dry flies, but will tie on terrestrials on a floating linewhen the water warms up.
