Stick to Joe's flies. something in a brown color. I don't think size matters here.

BLACK AND CHARTREUSE, BLACK AND BRIGHT RED... GREAT ON MUSKY, PIKE, AND BASS... SMALLER SPECIES, I DON'T KNOW... PROBABLY WOULD WORK,ESPECIALLY BLACK AND CHARTREUSE...

x2 they work when nothing else does.

doc trout,

you sure do smile a lot when posting

I was checking out your site.  Do a lot of people post over at your forum, was considering joining if a wealth of info is being passed around?

My personal fav. is Mayfly. I pack every rooster color, cuz you never know which one will do the job.

i use rooster tails for about 90% of my trout fishing. i primarily use the black rooster tail with the silver blade for fishing on overcast days and i use the white with silver blade if its sunny. size 204-210 are the best for trout. i dont like the gold blade spinners, never had much luck with em.

Make sure you stock Blue Fox spinners.  I don't think I've ever been out fished by someone using Rooster tails.  Last two years on the first day I was limited out in 20 min. while the guys beside me were on 2 at the most with Rooster tails.  Silver in size 0 and 1 seem to be killer.

Thanks for all the help guys...

We do have some Blue Fox, Mepps,Panther Martins, and Rooster Tails,and very small Mr. Twisters.

I will be adding some Joe's Flies this year and a few more colrs of rooster tails thanks to your help...


Here's my final list of new ...


rooster tails=

watermellon, tinsel brown trout, metalic blue, white coach dog, frog

Joe's Flies.. start small see what happens...

muddler, march brown, and brown hackle

I'd also like to say thanks for some PMs and E-mails from some who make their own spinners, and tackle, I'll be looking forward to looking at what you have for sale.....

I've had good luck with the Sonic...the Vibric, not so much.
