Hey I will be going up to Georgia this june and will be on the Toccoa river fishing for trout from the bank with a spining reel what types of lures should I use? Thanks
Spinners work pretty good for trout around here. Also I can't remember if it is legal or not without checking, but worms also work great, and if all else fails try rubber grubs. Good luck, and welcome to Georgia!
First, wear nothing that has to do with gators, or you may be beaten and left in a ditch. I would try spinners like small rooster tails, Mepps spinners, or Joe's Flies maybe. My favorite thing to catch trout on is a nightcrawler pulled in half on a small trout hook. Put a small split shot weight a few inches above the hook. Hook the worm so that the worm will spin if thrown into a hole, or under a waterfall. Also, make sure that where you are will allow live bait. Good luck!
A small Panther Martin or Mepps spinning with no bucktail should work. The very smallest Rapala is good too. If you are not required to use artificial bait, you can buy a can of corn at Publix. Most of these trout are raised in a hatchery and only last a few weeks in the river so they go for corn better than anything else. A night crawler works too.

I suggest you keep the "gator fan" low-key while traveling about Georgia.
LOL buckhunter, I tried my hardest to keep it civil! But Gator, buckhunter IS right, the "Dogs" here tend to bark pretty loud!
I will probably be loud and proud since I am travleing with a gator crowd of 9!!!!!! Go gators!
Not including me!
