Interesting lure?
Permalink  
 

I was up with Steve doing one of our final spawning fish census counts during late February.  There was no longer any spawning activity, but a couple of fish still hanging out.  As I was in the water counting redd's, something caught my eye in the water.  I bent over and picked up this cool trout lure, pictured below, between the redd's.  I'm not sure that I've ever seen anyone fish a Rapala with one single barbless hook before.

As you can see, this gem was manufactured to carry two treble hooks, neither which was attached any longer.  I can only imagine what the person who was casting this lure was doing???????

Those things are really hard to roll cast.

I think we should construct a rogues gallery of misfit lures found on the creek and start a display. I have an old wooden 6" pike minnow without hooks from Access 5. I wonder why all these lures were in use since they would choke even a large fish?

looks like a shad pattern that might have been used in the lake for bass and was washed downstream. At least that's what I'd LIKE to think!

That lure has been there for a WHILE. Thats a rattle-trap (bass lure). The color looks like its been faded off.
