Hey guys, I just started fishing about a year ago. So far I have only fished for trout in Oak Creek and the Verde River (Clark Dale, Thousand Trails, Dead Horse, White Bridge).
My current setup is a Shakespeare Ugly Stick Light - Medium Action, 6 foot and a Shimano Solstace 2500FI Reel. I use 4 pound line. I have only used really small 1/32 oz spinners from Meps, Panther Martin, etc. I have done fairly well getting small trout, but sometimes it is hit or miss.
I went out to the Verde yesterday and didn't get a single bite in 5 hours. I am starting to think maybe I should diversify my lures.
- What do you guys recommend I try as far as lures go?
- How big of a lure should I use?
- Should I go to 6 pound line?
- Any other tips?
