Spinner and or lure fishing is a fun way to catch trout. This form of fishing taps into the trout’s aggressive behavior. Trout like to chase and are curious. They will often get caught on lures and spinners because as they chase or trail it, as a parting shot, they will take a quick bite at it. Also, they will hit these baits out of reaction, making a quick decision to take it. I have found that casting up stream and reeling back down just a little faster than the current is a deadly technique. Again, trout wait for food to come to them on the flowing current and this technique plays into that.

Mepps make great trout fishing lures.

The spinners and lures need to be small for the streams we fish around here. Depending on where you fish, and the size of the fish, adjustments need to be made. There are several types of bass plugs that are productive for trout and experimenting to find what works well is part of the fun. I like to keep these types of baits small in size, because that has worked well.

As for the spinners, in-line spinners are more the norm for trout, again small in size. I have never had any luck with overhead spinners and really haven’t found any small enough actually. Spinning rods that are light with light line work well and are a lot of fun too. Makes fighting the trout very enjoyable.
