When I was living in Northern BC the most productive lure was the red/white/red Len Thompson spoon, size No. 8, attached directly to the line via the included swivel. I have come to refer to this lure as "The Great Canadian Trout Magnet". Cast it like a missile, reel it in, repeat until dinner is served.
