I agree that gold lures definitely produce trout. My personal tip: Add a little bit of bright orange to the gold and you will have one heck of a killer lure. In my case, it out-fishes just about anything. Try it!

Yes… you can fish with any “Natural” bait fish except live Trout and Largemouth Bass. There may be more to this but you would have to get the exact details from NYS DEC. Just do a Google search on “NYS Freshwater Fishing Regulations” and you’ll see it. It’s like reading War and Peace but that’s where it would be spelled out.

However, you can use live Perch, live panfish like Bluegills and Crappie’s, Golden Shiners and any “natural” minnows.

Good Luck!

Not exactly sure to be perfectly honest… but with NO DOUBT, Gold is the ticket around here!

I wonder why the gold is the hot lure…
