Looking for some help with Trout Fishing

Guys I want to add an article to the next issue in December. I am looking for an article talking about fishing artificial lures for trout in lake setting. I have fished for plenty of trout in my day but besides kastmasters and rooster tails, I have really only used bait. I know there are guys hear that are great Trout fisherman, so I am looking for either techniques for different baits or someone that want to either write an article. If you have never written before no worries, you can see by my writing we will take anything (LOL).
I have a friend that is editing so we can clean it up and if you just wont to send my your writing to have me help you dial it in we can also do that. Any help here would be great, also remember I will always be happy to add articles you send to me in fishing. So if you can help with this I would be grateful, thanks in advance.

I have used Z-spoons and caught trout the lip-ripperz ones they worked prety well. just need to find more, well i do have a fire tiger rattle trap and i've caught some trout on that also. so just depends i canfind the right name of them all when im home

Ahhh:D this is my favorite topic I will share some info with you guys, I'll put something together in the next few days.

Although trout is not my specialty i have had a lot of success on Trout Teasers ( crappie jigs), Trout Magnets & trout worms. I will be glad to contribute especially on the Trout Teasers i have caught many species of fish on this lure more then any other.

MY FAVORITE FISHING SEASON!!! TROUT!!!
I myself am primarily a trout fisherman althiugh u do fish other species.
n i primarily use lures now. I used powerbait on a carolina rig for till i was about 15..with some rooster tails.
but now i use spinners..FLATFISH. mini jigs. Rapalas. Artificial worms on drop shot.
Flatfish r one of my favorite lures. Partly bcuz of the natural patterns but mostly its the enticing way they swim.
But the Mepps and Kastmasters r some other amazing lure. Theres just so many that work great.

My favorite as well but I only fly fish. Right now it would be Chironomids.

I cant wait to visit Montana next August n do some Fly Fishing

I grew up trout fishing in the Rockies. My favorite lures are Rapala original floater in size 4 or lower, the Rapala countdown in size 5 or lower. I usually let the countdown sink to about 4'-5' then either reel fast n pause or just crank it in, I do the same with the original floater. My other favs are rooster tails or spoons colored in white n red, silver, or yellow n white. Trout really like breaks I'm the current, and if in a lake the same applies for bass fishing but in my experience they like to suspend in deeper parts more so. Hope this helps Jeff.

Caught our limit within an hr of starting in the morning

I also try to use something the fish have not seen, or at least not as often such as the custom hand tied fly jig ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]) spro phat fly in 1/16 oz. ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]) or pistol petes with a small split shot 12 inches up the line ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])

line size is paramount. 2lb. or 4lb most often Izorline XXX super co-polymer or maxima ultra green mono, sometimes a floro leader.

I fish for trout, and no other species. They're not BAD species, I just like trout fishing. I've succeeded with trout and I enjoy the challenge, though I finally broke down and bought a sonar, Garmin striker4. I want to fish the winter tournament that starts at San Pablo Reservoir, in February and I'd like a decent showing.

Anybody ever fished that tournament? I've had success at SPR but it may be a zoo that day. I'll be in a rented boat, too damn cold to float-tube.

Rapala shad and trout patterns. Countdowns and minnows.
