Default Try flys

My only concern with Rapalas and other cranks is the damage the trebles do to the fish. I catch and release all big ones so hope to minimize damage. Switching the trebles to singles helps a lot. Another crank that is deadly is the One Minus.
Neither spoons nor cranks can outfish my favourite for Northerns - a fly. Bunny tails,streamers, mice and all kinds of flies work great with Northerns and are easy to fish plus its a blast catching them on a fly rod. Use a big rod 9 or 10 but its a great way to fish the big guys. My biggest so far is 46 but saw a guy land a 49. Tons of little guys are great fun as well.
