[font "Poor Richard"][size 3][green]Oops - davetclown has lost it again. Hello Dave - this is a Fly board.[

[cool]Hi there FISHHOUND42 and welcome to the BFT and the FF&T board. I going to assume that you are not a fly fisher person but that is okay. It is not your fault that your post was moved here. [

When I would spin for trout I preferred to use a Carolina rig setup. Once you have located an area that holds trout then you need to determine at approximately what depth they are holding. Set your rig depth accordingly. Power bait in the SoCal is the go to bait.
As to lures I like Mepps & Panther Martin. Spoons like the Krocodile will go deep to reach the early season trout in fast waters.
I like a light weight system. I use either a 4 or 6 wt line. Leaders of 2 to 4 lb test. I don’t like to haul the fish in nor will I play them for ever for I think that it over stresses them. I am strictly C&R and I use barbless hooks. Good luck.
