Spinners, spoons, or flies — when should I throw which?
Match the tool to visibility, water type, and species. Spinners excel where the lateral line does the finding: stained water, broken pocket water, brook trout streams, and freshly stocked fish — the blade's thump calls fish that cannot see far, and covers water fast. Spoons cast farther and run deeper, making them the shore tool for lakes: ice-out lake trout, cruising rainbows, and trolling. Flies win where trout are eating insects and inspecting closely — slow clear pools, hatches, pressured water — because nothing else imitates a size-16 mayfly. An honest simplification: fish spinners to find fish, spoons to reach fish, flies to fool fish; carrying two of the three covers almost every trout day.
