I'd say toss in a Husky Jerk or deeper diving rapala type lure & then jigs for the trout & you're right on. Although I prefer the Wee craw over the Teeny craw.

Wee Craw, teeny craw, I always get them confused. I usually use the littlest ones though, whichever those are.

And yeah, I forgot about Rapalas, sure. Got to have a few of those for sure. Plus a Rebel Pop-r, a Devil's Horse, and a Jitterbug or two for topwater and you're set.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that... Sometimes it's the old timey methods that work the best... Like dynamite.

Yep, I can believe that. And if so, your grandpa probably caught a lot of fish! I always figure that if a lure has been around and popular for 50 years or so, there is probably a good reason for that.

I'm the same way with fly fishing too. My fly box usually has Elk Hair Caddis, Adams, Ausable Wulffs, and maybe a few hoppers during the summer and early fall for dries. Then for nymphs Hare's Ears, Pheasant Tails, Woollies, and egg patterns. If figure if I have the basics, if they're biting and if I'm doing a halfway decent job I'll usually get them. If not then any amount of fly boxes floating around in my vest aren't gonna do a thing to help with that.
