New to Swan Valley - tsn - 05-10-2009 Thanks to everyone who gave their input on where to fish. I have found alot of info on flies for the rivers. How about lures for the lakes. Palies and Ririe seem to be the closest. Any other advise?

[signature] Re: [curt69] New to Swan Valley - ductaped4runner - 05-11-2009 They were most likly usin a down rigger. That is how i would get down there. or usin a deep runnin lure but those only can get down so far. the down rigger takes you down to any depth that you want to get to.

If you're after trout I recomend panther martins 1/4oz size in holographics or silver blade colors. For kokes I like a small micro pop gear with a wedding ring trailer w/ either corn or worm pieces and troll with that. If you're after bass I usually use a Mr. Twister curly tail grub with a 1/4 oz jig head. Although I have caught all of the above on others, these seem to be most productive for me.

[signature] Re: [thebugler] New to Swan Valley - curt69 - 05-12-2009 Thanks I will have to pick up a couple of those . I was trying to use a 3/4 oz sinker Saturday and could not get down deep enough . Curt G. [signature]
