My favorite sizes of spinners for trout are 1/32-ounce for the most finicky fish, 1/16-ounce for most situations and 1/8-ounce for fishing in fast current. I prefer inline spinners with gold or silver blades for fishing in clear water and white or chartreuse blades for stained or murky water.

How fast should you reel in a spinner?
How fast do you reel a spinnerbait? Option 1: Most of the time the best retrieval speed is going just fast enough to make blades spin. If you fish your spinnerbait too fast it will roll on its side. If you see this you have to slow down your retrieval speed.
Do trout hit spinners?
On big streams, you can make long casts and cover more water in less time. Spinners work particularly well after rain muddies a stream. A trout might not be able to spot a fly in high, dingy water, but it can hear or sense a spinner cutting through the water.

Should I use a weight with a spinner?
Weights like 1/4oz and 3/8oz are ideal to keep the Spinnerbait higher up in the water column. If the bass are cruising the shallows in the spring or fall, these weights will allow you to keep the Spinnerbait above the grass, and will even give you the ability to “yo yo” them back to the boat.
What are the best colors for spinnerbaits?
Keep colors simple
But we advise keeping it simple. Go with a clear shad type color, a brighter chartreuse and white combination and maybe a black spinnerbait for night fishing and really muddy water. The clearer the water, the less you want the fish to see of the bait and fish it fast.

November through to December is often an excellent time to fish trout from streams and rivers because the water can be cool, still, and clear at this point in the year.

What is a trout’s favorite food?
Trout mostly eat insects.
Insects are all over rivers and not on top of the rivers. Nearly all insects that trout eat originate from beneath the surface of the water. Nymphs and larvae can be found in nearly every river. Trout use these as their main source of food.
Do trout feed on top or bottom?
Down at the bottom of the water is where trout spend most of their time. They feed here on bottom-dwelling insects and sculpin, and consume in this zone alone around 75 percent of their diet. If you don’t see fish boiling or occasionally breaking the surface, they’re probably holding down below.
Do you put bait on a spinner?
Draw in the bait quickly to keep the spinners high in the water. A spinnerbait works best when it’s near the surface of the water and forces fish to look up at it. The spinners will catch the sunlight most effectively in this position, and this will lead to a large number of strikes on the bait.
When should you use a spinnerbait?
The best spinnerbait bite usually occurs in early spring and in the fall. When water temperatures are in the 50-degree range, look to a spinnerbait to outperform a lot of the other baits in your box. Good spinnerbait water temperature is between 50 – 60 degrees.
Do you put a worm on a spinnerbait?
The best water conditions for adding spinnerbait trailers are stained to muddy water. I favor using plastic trailers with plenty of tail action, so my choices are usually single- or double-tail plastic grubs or 7-inch ribbon tail plastic worms.
Should I use a trailer on a spinnerbait?
Adding a soft-plastic trailer to the back of your spinnerbait is very beneficial. It disguises the hook well, giving the bait a cleaner profile and making it look a little more realistic. A trailer can also be used to slow a bait down or speed it up.
