Last fishing season opener (first Saturday of May), The water I was fishing had a lot of brown and brook trout move in, small and large, I caught a 22 inch Brown on my RC STX! That jerkbait, as well as the Xcalibur EE shad will be my got-to's this opener. But if I can find a nice swimbait or jerkbait in a brown/brook trout pattern I would definitely give it a shot. If nothing goes there, jigs are an option, maybe try a NED rig if the water is still super cold. Jerkbaits are going to be the first  thing I throw this year because I have a lot of confidence in them.

I won't know until I go now will I?    

a jig with a craw trailer   ...I should qualify by saying I throw a jig 80% of the time year round

This seems about right for me. Probably would put a drop shot and a spinnerbait on there.
