Hey there,
just wondering if anyone knows what would be good to use for specks or rainbows in a stream before they start hitting flies?
Wondering if I should take the Swamp Donkey out for a tour and troll the banks of the river.

This time of year, they might not bite anything, but if they do it'll be something small.

IMHO- nothing beats a good-ol worm n split shot.

Well when all else fails just use a mepps or bluefox spinner. If that doesn't work tip it with a worm.

It's a little chilly for the trout to hit just yet. When it warms up a little, use streamers or nymph and emerger patterns patterns. Sink tip and full sink lines will get the flies down to where the fish are comfy.
