Orange. Trout are also called cheese ball suckers, because cheese balls work well as bait.

Spinning outfit will work fine - ultra light would be best.  You want to use like 2 or 4 lb mono especially when it is sunny.  My favorite lure is a spoon called a "Super Duper". "Rooster Tail" is also a good lure for me.  You want very small lures/baits.  That is one of the reasons you want light line.  It easier to cast a light lure with light line.  The other reason is a heavy line is more likely to spook the fish. You also what to have your line in the water at first light or as early as is legal.  I have found that the first hour in the morning is the most productive.  My last word of advice is to patronize a tackle shop that is local to where you are fishing. This is a great place to find out what bait is hot and what location is hot.

We have the best luck with spinners and buck tails.  Usually like them to have a little red on them.  You can use a little red finger nail polish on the head or spinner.  Also perch colored ones work great. When we are going after large pike we like to use muskie bate.  You will usually catch a lot of pike but an occasional muskie.  Nothing beats that!\n\nhttp://www.crazydtackle.com/spinbuckraddog.shtml

For live bait, we've used frogs, caterpillars, and catalba (sp?) worms.  For bass, I have a top water lure called a torpedo...my favorite is kind of yellowish green on top with red on the sides and a cream colored bottom.  I usually put blood hooks (red hooks) on them and the bass will tear that thing up.  I've caught more bass on that torpedo than any worm or other other kind of bait.

Bream love top water lures when it starts to warm up. Fly rod is the most fun but if you don't like to fly fish then look for a lure that looks like a small grasshopper - it has 2 sets of triple hooks on it and a bill in the front that will make it go under if you reel it fast enough. If you use it slow it will wiggle on top water and drives fish crazy. If you are into fishing with corks then live crickets on a hook is great. If you can handle a fly rod though try this when the bream are bedding. On the end of your leader put a small sinking fly - about half way up the leader put a floating fly. You will catch 2 at a time very often and there is no more fun than having 2 big bream on with each one going a different direction. Have fun.

IF it is the Ovens River I'm thinking of, you would be able to catch (other than trout): Suckers, small pike, Small-mouth Bass, occasionally a Lrg-mouth Bass, maybe in the deeper holes a Walleye or 2. However, I'm not sure which Ovens River you are speaking about??? need more info.....

Try a Rapala "shad rap" in a perch pattern.  I have found it to be very productive for lake perch. A few years ago, I caught almost 30 perch in 3 hours using this lure.  Tight lines.

For Bass, best live baits are nightcrawlers and leeches.  No Lake Trout in NE.

You'll want to use the small spinning outfit.The lures you'll want to use will be too light to cast with anything else.Any small spinner (Panther Martin,Mepps,Roostertail)in silver,yellow,or white,seem to be the preferred colors.Small spoons also work in the same colors.Contact my profile if you have more questions.

Any season really. A muddler resembles a sculpin minnow which should be in the river system most of the season as opposed to a fly that resembles an insect that has a duration of activity/season.Early spring & Autumn may be a little stronger season for the Muddler as the insects aren't buuuzng around as much. Try stripping short lengths of line on your retrieve to simulate the short nervous burst that a small minnow swims with. I prefer a leader usually as long as the rod I'm using and a light tapered tippet 6X or 7X (Approx 2-4 pound test). Tight Lines!

I have the best luck casting with buck-tail spinners.  That's what I have caught all mine on. Black/red.  I prefer the double blades.  Perch colored Inhalers are also great. Noisy top waters in the spring. We never fish with live bait.  If you have a Muskies Inc. chapter in your area I would recommend joining that.  The meetings are packed with information and there are people that will be willing to take you fishing to show you how to fish.  Also getting Muskie Hunter Magazine.\nHope that helps.

Depending on what part of Oregon your in dictates weres best to go.I lived near Portland and know theres a few great camping areas on Mt.hood with some awesome trout fishing.Trillium lake would be my first choice.If you want a more closer to Portland expierence i would try Henry Hagg Lake.in southern Oregon I found Fair to good fishing In the siltcoos lake area .which the lake by the way has/had the Oregon record for biggest largemouth bass,henry hagg has the smallmouth  record.both have Trout which is what i'd fish for especially with the family.

Their are plenty of websites out there that explain how to use certain lures( crankbaits,jigs,spoons,spinnerbaits,ect.) and plastics (worms,crawls,and anything plastic) you need to figure out what species of fish you are going to target and then look up fishing for that particular type of fish you are trying to catch. You can go to basspro.com or cabella's,com and look for tips and that would probably get you started also try searching the web for "how to catch" whatever type of fish your trying to catch, you'll probably get alot of sites and you would have to pick from them. Their are alot of species to fish fresh water and it's pretty hard to narrow it down much. If your looking for bass fishing I can probably help you out quite a bit, I'm leaving for a Tournment on the Potomac River in the morning and won't be back until Sunday. Just rember a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. Hopefully I can be some help to you, I fish trout also and catch some pike on occasion, not really a choice but they are fun to catch.

Try Meridian Lake. It's located about two miles east of Kent right off hwy 516. Lake Meridian holds Rainbow trout as well as Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass a variety of Spiny Rays and Catfish. Trolling small flatfish or popgear will work well for the Rainbow trout. Fishing from the public dock using a power bait and a sliding eggsinker will work also. For the bass try casting a dark colored crankbaits. Lake Meridian is open year around.

If its brownes he's after, I would recommend,on the point, black and peacock spider,blea and black,coachman,mallard and claret,peter ross and silver butcher.For nympth patterns use pheasant tail,stickfly and shrimp. Middle fly needs to be flashy ie,dunkeld wickhams fancy.Top fly needs to be a bushy fly that you can dibble across the surface waves like red palmer or zulu.In summer a small muddler works wonders.Small single dries will work in late evening.If fishing from the bank dont cast to far,try to fish at 45 deg in front and work your way along the bank.Dont forget to keep the rod up .Brown trout take from below and will not chase a fly like rainbows.As the fish will manly small its best to use light gear no5/6 weight lines a long rod is useful about 10ft it is also long enough to use on a boat. Hope this goes some way to helping you out  only wish I could be with him as well.Best of luck and tight lines.

I go fly fishing for trout! It's a lot of fun. I find that brown and green flies work the best.
