I started fishing one i was 3 years old. but i only used hook and worm. And now i am 13 and want to catch fish with a lure on the truckee. because they say that’s the only way how to catch big ones. But dint know which one to use ( i am using rooster tails haven’t caught any thing)

Depending on the gear you have there are several good lures to try. If you have Ultra Light rated trout gear try mini jigs. They are little tubes with tentacle ends. Use 1/32 oz. size in a green, brown, or whiter color. Cast them into calm pools behind rocks and other structure and jig them up and down very subtly. These will catch you trout ranging from 10″ to 10lbs. If you have heavier gear i would try a small rapala countdown. Cast them across the calmer deep river sections and they should work pretty well. Use the small sized one’s like the CD-1 or CD-3. Any color should work because if the fish are biting the rapala it is because they are pissed off not because they are hungry so color doesnt matter.
