for bass all year i use a weightless texas rigged rubber worms usually paddle tails or a culprit. there extremely simple and weedless not to mention deadly. the bueaty of the gary yamamoto paddletail is it can be fished as a top water buzzbait too w/ out changing anything. my fav colors are pumkinseed and watermelon they seem to work in almost any water color, atleast up here it seems
for brown trout and salmon we use barnes specials, hornbergs and muddler minnows quite a bit unless we are trlling then we use tandom flys in a joes smelt, black and grey ghost or a nine-three usually all w/ a 6wt sinking tip or full sink. nights when theres a good hatch we swap reels and use a 5wt floating line w/ a hornberg as our primary fly
