Among the most popular of trout fishing lures is the spinner. This is the gear that's in play if you've heard people talk about going spinner fishing, just as you know people are using some sort of flies if they are fly fishing. Spinners are a class of trout fishing lures that are intended to imitate like the types of prey the fish eat in their natural habitat. But don't be confused, because the spinners can mimic the prey without necessarily looking like them. At any rate, what you really want to do is have a nice selection of tout fishing lures so you can adjust for whatever curve balls are thrown your way and roll with the punches.
Keep in mind that the season will also be a factor when you are choosing among trout fishing lures. For instance, trout tend to hover near the bottom during spring, and they move more slowly after the cold of winter. The best bait may just be something that strikes a balance between getting snagged on the bottom and zipping by overhead. And when the creeks and rivers of bursting with snow melt and runoff, you can do well with spinners and worm rigs. A worm with a non-weighted spinner works good. Allow it to scoot along the bottom, with maybe just a bit of split-shot.
Other popular trout fishing lures, alongside spinners, are the spoons. The spoons have, as you might guess, spoon-shaped ends that wobble when they are reeled in. Due to this, they resemble a bait fish. The main thing to note is that the immediate feeding patterns of the fish will dictate whether or not it's appropriate to use spoons. Interestingly, trout are more inclined to attack a spoon when there aren't as many bait fish around. Note that your spoons offer a wide array of options, with different shapes, weights, sizes, etc. I prefer to use something that is a bit heavier in early spring, as long as it is under one inch in length.
Trout fishing lures commonly include not only spinners and spoons, but also rooster tails too. These are created to resemble minnows, which are a popular food that occur naturally for trout, and the rooster tails will usually have several inches of hair at the end. These come in a number of different varieties, and they are found in versions that float on top and others that will dive down. You can manipulate the front of the lure to cause it to dive to various levels. You just have to be cautious when doing the, because they can break easily.
While this might sound like a lot to consider, actually choosing the best trout fishing lures is only the start. There's a whole new realm that deals with casting. It's beyond the scope of this article, but note that it's usually best to cast upstream if you are using spinners. You can maximize the use of the natural currents this way and fish across a wide stretch of creek. At the end of the day, just keep searching until you find what works, but avoid getting lured into buying everything in sight. Then, when you get something that is working, roll with it!
