Good Small Trout Lures

Featured Replies

Does anyone know a type of lure they've had good success in small lake/ stream trout fishing? I'm going up north and all there is are small intakes that turn into streams so I'll mostly be doing stream fishing.

Rainbows, brown and brook trout are what I'm targeting.

I suggest small spinners. Maybe try some berkley powerbait. I like using live worms.

Sounds good! Thank you (:, by any chance are you familiar with acme kastmaster spoons? I was considering those in a 1/4 oz , but I've never used them.

I like in-line spinners and small spoons. My favorites include Mepps Aglia, Little Cleos, and Thomas Bouyants. Other classics include Panther Martins, Rooster Tails, Small Krocodiles, and Kastmasters, etc...

For the kastmasters, which size would you prefer? I'm fishing in a small stream/ ponds here and there when I head up to bishop. The water about 3-5 at most in areas of that... I was thinking 1/4 oz but I'm not sure. I hear trout are finicky and like certain things. I just wanna catch them but off lures not powerbait, that's my last option, but if they take it I'll use it I guess.

I would do 1/16 or 1/10 oz on the spinners/spoons or 1/8 at the most if you're talking small trout. My favorite is a 1/10 oz rooster tail in grasshopper, but white or black with a silver blade or brown and yellow with gold are good as well.

Trout magnet and/or gulp minnows on a jighead

Acme little cleos. Small fly on a weight and bobber

Get some foam dry flies for fly fishing, tie it on and attach a bobber for weight... You will never enjoy catching a trout more than on a dry

Little Cleo, micro chatterbaits, micro jig under a bobber.
