Trout spoons are compact metal lures that produce an enticing wobbling and fluttering action. They are highly effective on commercial trout fisheries, streams and natural stillwaters, especially when trout respond to an active but controlled presentation.
How to fish trout spoons
Retrieve steadily and vary the speed with short pauses to change the spoon's depth and action. Light models suit shallow water and slow presentations, while heavier spoons cast farther and reach deeper fish.
Choose colours and weights
Bright colours can stand out in coloured water, while silver, brown, green and other natural tones often work well in clear conditions. Carry several weights and colours so you can adapt to light levels, depth and fish activity.
