The very tiny ones are Hsecl 6 eavier than those made for flyrod fishing, and are qUa wit h ultralight tackle. The heavier lures, up to one- Kf0 er ounce, are perfect for standard spinning gear.

Spinners on shafts and spoons must be brought in a little faster to bring out their action. In discolored water fish them as close to the bottom as you can without getting snagged. If that doesn't work, cast the lure across the stream and let it swing downstream, playing out line or taking it in to regulate its depth and to maneuver it around rocks and into pockets. When it stops its swing directly below you let it play in the current awhile, then retrieve it slowly. Don't overlook pockets of still water beneath overhanging banks or under sunken logs along the shoreline. These are great hangouts for trout in high or discolored water. DON'T FALL IN Nobody enjoys a dunking except the fellow standing on the bank, and it can be dangerous, too. Felt soles on your boots are a wonderful help in wading—they grip so much better than rubber soles. Boots and wading shoes can be bought equipped with felt soles. If you've already got rubber soled boots they can be fitted with felt in two ways—one, by cementing on felt soles from a kit that is sold for the purpose, or by strapping on felt-soled sandals. Chain sandals are also available, and these grip well, too. A wading staff is a great help in wading swift water. Put a screweye in the end of a waist-high staff and attach it to your belt with a strong cord. When crossing fast water use it as a third leg on your downstream side. When fishing let it hang by the string. Above all, don't take chances.
