Stream trout are a different animal than pond trout, but like any fish, they depend on a food source and shelter for survival..
Spinners like panther martin ( black and yellow) copper blade , mepps and roster tail work well , the rooster tail in fast water ahead and behind eddies, bottom bump the panther martin along the undercuts, it doesn't take a lot of current to make that blade turn... .. mepps are a medium current lure, and can be worked sub surface or bottom bumped...small stick baits work well on brookies, and larger browns, especially at night... perch pattern and orange with black spots have always done me a solid,,
My breaks over, when I have some time , i'll get into the fly aspect of it... it can be addicting and at times, better than live bait!
