I'm not much of a trout fisherman, but like trout patterned roostertails. Trout are like yellow perch; they're very cannibalistic.

?????????
All fish are cannabalistic and opportunists!
It's eat or be eaten 
Catching a 1-4 lb. trout on light gear with 3-8 lb. test or fly gear with #16 fly and 4-5x tippet is challenging!
Just watched a fellow, on WFN catch a 79 lb. Amberjack on 8 lb. test.
For me -> "Challenge" on light gear is the name of the game and test of my abilities as a fisherman.!
NOT!
Ripping some poor 1-5 lb. fish or hydroplanning it over the water with 30+ lb. test braided line just doesn't seem very sporting to me.
Why I sold or gave away all my heavy saltwater and bass gear.

| 1/8oz Rooster Tails in certain colors have worked well for me. My best color has always been Yellow Coachdog. Others in the brown and orange color range have worked well. On cloudy days, silver bladed darker and very light colors work well. |
