Favorite lure for catching trout?

[X-it]

Trolling or jigging?

Trolling, troll really slow and your hook has to be so sharp it sticks in your thumb nail.

Depends on the type of trout... Lake, brown, cutthroat, rainbow, bull??

Good question. Rainbow is the model of fish.

Home tied flies, match the hatch!!!

Real Fisher people use a fly....

Home tied flies, match the hatch!!!

Exactly, anything else is for kids or poachers, real fishers use a fly on a flyrod for Rainbow.
Tom thumb is a good all around fly for new flyfishers, experience will want you to match the hatch though for real success.

have had good luck with chartreuse or fluorescent orange mepps lure, best with worm or some velveeta cheese on a hook.

I need to learn how to tie flies

And how to pick the right fly

There are some very good courses out there, well worth the time and money to learn. Once you learn the art of fly fishing you will never go back.
I still troll and rig but only the ocean and when my wife wants to fish on the boat, she doesn't flyfish, otherwise 90% of my fishing is on shore at creeks and rivers and outlets.
I seldom fish from my boat unless i'm hunting salmon or large bottom feeders like Halibut. Occasionally fish for deep laying lakers in some of the Okanagan large lakes with the boat.
