What to throw

Fish Lure Guide

Which lures, spoons, jigs, and flies actually catch the target species in each region and season.

General practice

  • Match the hatch — natural forage size and color.
  • Slow presentations in cold water, faster in warm.
  • Vary retrieve until you find the pattern of the day.
  • Rotate a small confidence set rather than carrying every lure ever made.
