Spoon Fishing Questions

[hazel1436]

I fish on the Cumberland River below the dam all year with spoons for Rainbow and Brown Trout. The water there is always crystal clear. The spoons that I use are a small casting/trolling spoon from Luhr Jensen called the Super Duper in colors of chrome/red head, brass/red head, and rainbow trout color. The sizes for these are a #501 (1/12 oz) and #502 (1/10 oz). Another casting/trolling spoon that I use is by Acme. It is called the Little Cleo and it is a 1/8 oz. chrome spoon. This spoon has a very nice presentation, but I like a smaller hook than what the spoon originally comes with. I prefer a # 10 size hook. Both of these spoons have been used while wading and then jigging when the water rises due to generation from the dam. They perform with good results.

to cut down on spoon loss throw the hooks away that come in them and change them to a lighter wire hook that will bend,i don't even use treble hooks,just a straight shank wire hook.Spoons are good anytime you see a school o fish on the finder,i keep a rod with one on aytime the fish are deep and schooling.
