Trout lure fishing

Small spoons, plugs and spinners cover rivers or managed fisheries. Rules differ substantially between natural rivers and stocked ponds.
Tackle and preparation
Check permits, season, allowed hooks and lure restrictions first; select tackle for the current and venue.
On the water
