I like the F4 flatfish. It is only an inch and a half long, but is very good for rainbows. Larger sizes may catch larger fish, but your overall success rate will be lower.

Small meps spinners or panther martins, yellow and black or orange. All kinds of flies, Delmonte corn, or plain old worms never fail.

im also a fan of panther martins. color depends on the day, cloudy, sunny, murky, or clear water

I fish mostly small streams for brook trout, my go to lure is a Mr. Rapidan Dry fly size 14

Inline spinners are great for anything from a tiny stream to trolling a large lake. I've caught plenty on almost all common brands of spinner. I go with Mepps by default, but sometimes they are clearly favoring a Panther Martin. Sometimes you just need the right color and all brands will work, sometimes they are only attracted to the action/vibration of a particular brand. All of this applies to spoons, too.

There isn't a thing mentioned in the previous comments that I don't agree will catch trout well.

meal worms with a ball or powerbait for live bait if an arafital lure then a gold panther martin

definately a black panther martin with red, yellow, or orange spots on the blade
