Summer Lures
#1
Mepps Aglia #2
Color: Silver · Size: #2 (1/6 oz)
Cast upstream and across, retrieve with steady medium pace to create flash and vibration. Let it swing through deeper pools and current breaks where trout hold at night.
Overcast night conditions with recent rain runoff make vibration and flash critical; Mepps #2 matches native forage size in Bald Eagle Creek and excels in moderate current with visibility-reducing conditions.
#2
Rapala Original Floater #5
Color: Silver · Size: #5 (2 in)
Cast near structure and current seams; use short sharp twitches followed by pauses to mimic injured baitfish. Work it in the top 2–3 feet where night-feeding trout hunt.
Overcast night and recent rain increase trout aggression; the Rapala's natural minnow profile and erratic action trigger strikes from actively feeding rainbows in low-light conditions.
#3
Kastmaster Spoon 1/4 oz
Color: Gold · Size: 1/4 oz
Cast upstream into deeper pools and drop-offs, use flutter-fall technique with occasional sharp lifts. Work the spoon through current seams and around submerged logs.
Gold spoon reflects overcast light effectively and produces flash in slightly turbid post-rain water; 68°F water supports active feeding; medium pressure favors a proven classic that doesn't require finesse.
#4
Panther Martin #2
Color: Black/Gold · Size: #2 (1/4 oz)
Cast into current and retrieve at a steady pace, allowing the spinner to tumble through deeper runs and behind rocks. Work it methodically through pools where trout stage at night.
Medium fishing pressure and night conditions favor a proven local stream pattern; Panther Martin's compact design and vibration excel in Bald Eagle Creek's current, and black/gold is effective in low-light night fishing.
