Bukwild3 · Jul 16, 2017

Going on a pack trip a lake in Colorado. Suppose to be able to fish I don't fly fish. Anyone have a thought on a couple baits I can pack with me for fishing with a bait caster? Was thinging about a spoon would be a good catch all.

take a torpedo float and rig a fly about 3 ft behind it. cast and retrieve, repeat as necessary.

Pistol Pete's are pretty effective around me.

Panther martins have always been my go to trout lure in any river or lake. If I need to cast a lot farther spoons will do better.

With the p/m and mepps, do you find yourself having to change colors often. Is there a color y'all feel is a catch all of you had to only have 1 or 2 colors?

The orange/yellow and the gold/black Panther Martins in a size 0-2.

Thomas spinners and spoons work well for me.

Thanks!

Just a red mepps #2 and if I use a panther martin I always stick with the yellow with black dots.

JohnCushman · Jul 16, 2017

I my experience, pretty much anything with a little silver or gold flash to it has worked.

Panther Martin/Mepps #0 work really well in the beaver ponds. Silver on sunny days, gold or copper color on over cast days. Great luck!

LMD423 · Jul 16, 2017

Thomas cyclone silver or copper

Yellow panther Martin for sure. I don't believe they make them anymore, but I also used to like "steelhead by bud" lures.

Bukwild3 · Jul 16, 2017

Awesome thank y'all. Looks like PM's and Mepps will be coming with me.

Right on!!!

I like to take several colors, making sure I have at least 2 chartreuse(sp). Keep them handy. If you cast a half dozen times with no action, change colors. Put a dozen in a plastic case and you don't have a whole pound of weight.

I've done well with gold kastmasters.

I hate to say it but don't forget the powerbait for lake fishing. I've seen rainbow glitter and captain America easily outfish any lure. It doesn't feel like the most sporting way to catch fish but I always throw it in the pack if I want a guaranteed dinner
