It really depends on the kind of trout you are looking for. Quite often Mepps spinners work well. Flies of a wide variety are used by fly-anglers every where for trout. Lake trout to steelhead to brown trout will eat everything from minnows to leeches to insects. Try to match the the feed in the water you are fishing - that will be a good place to start. Check out the ideas I found at the website below.

Obviously it's best to try and "match the hatch" but if you don't know whats hatching the try a wet  MONTANA nymph. If you can see fish rising to dry flies then I like to try a SEDGE. If you use a very dark one then you can see it floating on the water even at quite long range and this helps. If I had only one fly in my box then it would have to be a bloody butcher. A great allrounder. Good luck and thanks for your question!!

Yamamoto Senko is hands down the best bass bait on the market. There are a lot of imitations out there(including the yum dinger mentioned above) but the original Yamamoto senko is step above all of them. They're salt content is very high giving it an action that makes it look alive especially when wacky rigged(hooked in the middle with a #2 bait hook and no weight).  I guarantee if you buy a bag and try them out you will have great success. For more info or to buy some go to www.insideline.net They have a great forum where pro's are always happy to help out and you can order directly from the factory there.\nP.S. Try the watermellon pepper,excellent collor! Good Luck and tight lines.

The best, most undisputed crappie bait ever, are live minnows.  Crappie go nuts for them.  In fact, in your local tackle shop, they'll probably have a size of minnow called a "crappie minnow."  This isn't because it's a baby crappie, it's because it's the perfect size for catching crappie.\n\nThat being said, there are other lures that will seduce those paper-mouthed rascals into biting.  My personal favorite is a white 1/16 oz. jig head w/ a chartruese "trailer."  I say trailer because when it comes to crappie lures, the sky is the limit.  There are as many different 2" trailers for crappie jigs as there are soft plastics for bass fishing.  You can catch them on almost all of them though, but I really like the white head/chartruese body combo.\n\nAnother good lure is a small rooster tail.  Find one with a silver color and silver blades.  It mimics minnows, and therefore triggers strikes.\n\nGood Luck.

you might want to try dawn or dusk hours depending on the heat. soft plastics minnows or crankbaits for bass and spinners or live bait for trout.....try a slip sinker about 16 inches from you hook with a small split shot to hold it from sliding down then use half a mini marshmallow twords the eye of the hook then tip it with about 8 to 12 maggots might want to use a size 6 hook.. the marshmallow keeps the maggots up and out of the vegitation you can chage your depths with the small split shot. it also works with meal worms..

There is no one best color in every situation. In general people fish lighter colors like watermelon or smoke in clear water and darker colors like purple and brown in dark or murky water. Metallic flake is also important in the bait. \n\nAs for the weight, try to use the smallest one you can and still get a good cast. You get better action this way. Also use wide gap hooks specifically designed for a worm.\n\nFish worms on structure, in cover, and on drop offs. Fish will be relating to this features.

Hi!\n\nHigh gloss paint is the best.\n\nEither red with brass fittings\n\nOR\n\nNavy blue with silver coloured fittings.\n\nHope this helps!

If you are using live bait, for bass I would say either minnows, or crayfish.  If you are using artificial, the #1 best bait to use would be the plastic worm.  Cast the worm near any form of cover, let it sink, and hold on!  I prefer the YUM dinger in the 4 inch length, in the watermelon seed color.YUM makes 3,4,5,6,7 and a 9 inch split tail model of the dinger.  I have drastically improved my catch ratio with the YUM dinger. It is best to have at least 3-4 different colors of each size of dinger that you have, just in case. The second best bait for bass are spinnerbaits.  I prefer darker colors like black and blue.  Only get smaller single blade spinnerbaits, because they catch more fish.  The larger tandem blades do catch bass, but not nearly as many as the smaller ones do.  It is a statistical fact.  Try different retrieves with the spinnerbaits, at different depths. Like I said, I prefer darker colors, but I have a wide assortment of colors, because you never know what color they will bite.  As for perch, I don't know to much about perch.  But I have a Rapala shad rap in a perch pattern, that I have caught alot of perch on. Here are a couple sites to help you out some.   Have fun and tight lines.

Good combo for fishing, but bad if your fishing for small fish. What # test are you using? Give more info like what your fishing for, what bait your using and how your putting it on if its anything special.

Oh my dear lord, I thought you would never ask!!!!! YES, and much cheaper, as well as much better!!!  Try the YUM dinger.  They come in 3,4,5,6,7 and a 9 inch splittail model.  I prefer the 4 inch watermelon seed color, with gold flakes.  They are impregnated with LPT, Live Prey Technology. And the scent never washes off.  I have drastically improved my catch ratio per trip using these stick baits.  Technically they are not worms.  Fish them just like you fish a senko.  I prefer to texas rig them and cast near cover.  The tail has an irresistable wiggle action, that draws great strikes.  They are made with a hook slot, that allows for better, as well as more hook-ups.  I should be a spokes person for thier company, because I stand by them so much.  Give thenm a try, and if you aren't happy let me know.  If nothing works, I throw a dinger, and 99% of the time I get several fish. Plus they hold up better than senkos.  Usually I can catch 2-3 fish on 1 dinger, as compared to the 1 bass with senkos.  I have never tried the split-tail models, and I'm sure they are quite different.   You can also fish them wacky style, but I have better results with them rigged texas style without any added wieght.  Tight lines.

A small "Rooster-tail" in white and black with a silver blade.Also, downsize your line test. Use Berkley "Fire-Line" in "smoke" color. That line tests at 10lbs and has a dia. of 4lb. Small "Rattle-Trap" type baits work as well, in the 1/8 and 1/4 size.Small "black" or "white" jigs in the 1/8 oz. and 1/4 oz. works well too. Spray all of your lures with some type of attractant.

Worms work! Grey crickets, Power Bait,(either one) on a chartreuse jig have worked for me in the past when fishing for crappie, blue-gill, and bream.\nGood Luck!

There are many lures of this type..... just look through the RAPALA Lures & STORM lures catalogue, and you'll find plenty.\nLike all lures they're mainly used for catching predatory fish, such as Pike, Perch & Bass.... see this British article on the subject: http://www.esox.co.uk/new_page_22.htm\n\nIf you really want to learn as much as possible about fishing, I suggest investing in copies of:\nJohn Bailey's Complete Guide to freshwater fishing\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1843305674/qid=1148527304/sr=1-15/ref=sr_1_0_15/202-1803687-5659022\n\nThe NEW Encylopedia of Fishing\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0751339733/qid=1148527285/sr=1-33/ref=sr_1_2_33/202-1803687-5659022\nand\nJohn Wilson's Fishing Encylopedia\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0752219111/qid=1148527363/sr=1-24/ref=sr_1_0_24/202-1803687-5659022
