At beggining of season we use streamers and smelt. Later on we will use downriggers or lead lines w/lures. Moosilauke wobbler brown w/spots is always good. We get plenty of different colors, patterns, styles cause some days just switchin them keeps ya busy lookin for something to work. Of course its best to have two so when you come up w/the one that works the second one goes to the highest bidder!!
