I've actually caught trout before using spinners, but I was a kid and don't quite remember how. I'm looking for some techniques other than powerbait on the bottom and nightcrawler on a bobber rigs.
I still have about a dozen (Mepps aglias, rooster tails, etc.) spinner lures ranging in size and color.
If I recall, I used to just put them on a snap swivel at the end of the line and toss 'em out and bring them in (I dont' have a boat, this is all about bank fishing rivers and lakes) However, the smaller ones have almost no weight to them and I don't imagine I could cast them very far. I could use some pointers.
Should I...
a) Use the lure connected to a snap-swivel as I belive I used to do as a kid?
b) Use an egg singer above a swivel with 2 feet or so of leader to which the lure is connected?
c) Use some kind of 3-way swivel with a weight going down and the lure being dragged behind like is done when trolling?
Should I only use spinner lures in rivers--not in lakes?
Any techniques or tips for spinner fishing for trout would be much appreciated.
