tips on trout fishing

[niall_b73 41]

well the season is upon us and i am ever more itching to get to a very large lake just around the corner for me.

the lake in question holds salmon, 4 different breed of trout, artic char along with the usual perch roach ect....

 

it has been ages since i have fished for trout (not since i was a child) so i would have to say i am a little rusty.

all i ever used then to catch trout was the little mepps spinners.

 

i do have a fly rod but am not great on it & am saving it for later in the year.

 

so i guess i am looking for advice on what lure/lures i should be using for spinning for the trout.

 

also for trolling what would be the ideal lure/lures for this.

 

thanks for looking & your help in advance.

A "big ole pike plug" to me is 12+" in length, not really a good lure for trout, whereas a small plug like a 2-3" rapala or big S would be more suited.

 

Or try a mepps spinner they always produce the goods for me!!

jeyaus mate i could never tell you that, if i did i would have to kill you

 

i guess from that description it would not be hard to work it out.

been living beside it for 3 years now and never really bothered much about it but was down there yesterday for a while chillin in the car.

it was an absolutely stunning day, there was not a breath or a cloud in the sky, the lake was like a sheet of ice.

i could see every rise and the odd big 1 jumping and i have got to say it has rattled me a bit so i have to give it a go !!

 

pm me the name and i will let you know if you are right or not.

Just fished it 4 times and had some sort of bother each time.

The last time we were out on it the wind picked up quickly and hit a wave,it stood the boat up straight on its end.
