moguy1973 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Since plastics aren't allowed on red and blue ribbon trout waters, what are everyone's go-to lures on these streams when fishing for smallmouth? -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
Gavin Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I use bass sized hair and marabou jigs instead of plastic...Plus I tie bucktail skirts and rabbit strip trailers on spinner baits and buzzbaits. Your favorite hard baits will work to. Might even catch yourself a big brown trout.
moguy1973 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 I'm guessing that rubber skirts on spinner baits is banned too? -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
Mitch f Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I'm guessing that rubber skirts on spinner baits is banned too? I don't think so, only soft plastics. I've used spinnerbaits in the trophy trout areas for smallmouth for years and have never been questioned "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Bman Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 A lead head, or sculpin helmet on a PMS! The only good line is a tight line

Bman Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Mitch, Gavin, Thanks guys. Mitch, Have you been fishing with Nick? The only good line is a tight line
ozark trout fisher Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 When I'm smallie fishing those streams my go-to lure is the Rebel Teeny Craw-just like everywhere else. Plus they work very well for trout most of time too. But I'm usually fly fishing on Blue Ribbon water, and an olive woolly or leach pattern in #6-10 is often great for catching a combination of bass and trout.
