Trout Lures on the South Platte (Foxton Road Area)

[cebeu]

Fly's and live-bait are off-the-table for this question. I do prefer fly action generally but…day trip with an elderly gentlemen that requires simplicity – spinners only.
What lures do you guys “in the know” recommend for hitting Browns and to lesser extent, Rainbows this time of year (~July) in the South Platte, specifically between Foxton Road and Pine Junction? Note, still running a bit high and current is heavier than the average year so I’m looking at a little heavier/larger. I had a small bit of luck with a Blue Fox last Sunday but…hard day of fishing for little return. Hit nothing with Rooster tails and other common lures.
Any suggestions are welcome from those willing to give away their secrets! J Thanks in advance.

Nice area,sorry can't help though.
Is the store still open down at Foxton Rd and 126?
They might know.

Kastmasters work great, Really shinny stuff IE Spoons

I like Panther Martins for spinners. The yellow body with orange spots, plain silver blade. Allways had at least a dozen in the box.
For Browns the smallest silver/black ND Rapala works well.
Have fun!!!!!

Pistol Pete with a water bobber. I use these for my kids when they fish the river and are pretty easy to work. They don't snag as easy and you can use a regular rod. Just put the water bobber on about 2 feet from the pistol pete, put a little water in the bobber (just helps casting distance) and then slowly troll it back across the river. It's not as good as fly fishing, but it USUALLY works pretty well and is easy to use.

Have a good time! A bad day of fishing beats almost any other day.

Thank you all, much appreciated. Added a few Kastmaster's to the arsenal this afternoon and more...

Plan to do another "recon day" in the next few days or so, avoiding the ompending holiday madhouse dates though.

Yeah, what Daniel said....

A guy really cannot go wrong with a Kastmaster. I like the plain chrome ones myself.
