Trout: HotShot size 70 or a Flatfish size F4. Any color works well. Haven't found one that really sticks out better then others...
Tip them with a piece of worm and troll them and your set...With my experience, it outfishes any spoon or spinner for trout and I'm not kidding. Beats out any other top quality lure like a Wedding Ring, Super Duper, Dick Nite, Needlefish, Blue Fox Vibrax, Rooster Tail, Panther Martin, Mepps, Little Cleo, or any other spinner or spoon you can think of.
Downside: They aren't weighted, so you can't cast them. For casting lures its all about the Kastmaster for me...No preference on color....

Beyond any doubt, it's a size F5 or F7 Perch Scale Flatfish for rainbows. For kokanee, it's always red Wedding Ring with a treble hook and white shoe peg corn on each barb. And don't forget the snubber. When fly fishing for Westslope Cutts, it's an Elk Hair Caddis or a Red Humpy in sizes 10-16. Blessings, Lotech Joe

To add onto Lotech's Flatfish: I've almost exclusively used Flatfish for the past 2 years. I seem to do well on anything really. Coachdog, Bright Pink, Bright Orange, etc. Natural or bright colors work great...

For trout my best producer is pink wedding ring with silver blade tipped with cured corn, or salad shrimp behind a 50/50 4/0 dodger. Of of downriggers of course!!!!

No species in particular. I was just curious as to if people had a favorite lure. To me, my red/white spoon is like my little buddy Also, I just moved to eastern Washington a few months ago, but still plan to fish west of the mountains too. So I'm happy to see good lure recommendations for species like smallmouth that I have no idea how to catch, and new ideas for things I already know how to catch like kokanee. I'll definitely try some (if not all) of these lures out when March roles around! Look for more vague posts from me through-out the winter, probably more east of the mountain related than this one... Hey, if I don't have the time, money, or cold tolerance to go fishing right now, at least I can post about it.

A RAPALA has caught more fish in this world than all the lures you guys have mentioned combined.

Hi Kid, I fish for just about everything that swims. The 3 inch curlytail grub has been my go to bait for about 25 years now.Big Panfish like the Perch and Crappie will hit it as well as the Largemouth and the Smallmouth.We get good numbers of Walleyes and big Rainbows and Browns as well.If you are targeting Salmon and Steelhead you may want to go bigger, say to a five inch. That Dare Devil spoon that you like has been around for as long as I can reamember,its a good bait that has caught a lot of fish. Pick up a few bags of curlytails and some 1/16th and 1/8th oz jigheads and hit the Yakama for Smallmouth.Chartruce has been a good color.

I would say for planted trout frogger flatfish or red/white gypsy king. A big old juicy nightcrawler on single hook will take it's fair share also.
