all I ever use are crankbaits. I have other stuff but i think it is a confidence thing and lack of patience on my part. that 2 3/4 inch original rapala with black back and silver sides that Al talked about is my go to. I mostly fish 10 mile creek which is a wade stream so I usually use topwater or 2-4 foot diving crank baits. I need to mix it up more.

You might try something other than a 2-4' depth crank bait in clear water. They seem to work best with less than 3 foot visibility.

Been years since I fished rivers. But if I was going to now I would choose plastic worm number one that I would use to roll over things. I would also want a small hair weedless 1/8 oz jig or the plastics that can be put on a jig like tubes that came after my time. This I would cast to up side corner of a root wad or other pocket forming obstructions. Then a topwater. My colors in everything would all be natural in the veins of brown with maybe some pink stuff. Top waters I could care less what color. Since I make some of my own now I guess they would be either light colored cedar or dark colored. Painted with poly to preserve them. I do not think I would have a need for anything else.

Since I have been on here I have had the urge to return to some creek or little river. But I might not like what I see. That would upset me.

Not necessarily in that order, but I one of them usally tied to all my rods on a trip.

If it's really cold and fish are lethargic, and I feel like using my flyrod, a marabou jig dead drifted will surprise you on what it can do..
