Trout Lures for Reservoirs & Lakes

Trout Lures are one of the most popular ways of fishing for the large rainbow trout on reservoirs and lakes. A good trout lure will often provoke vicious attacks when fished correctly. Each water will differ on how to fish a trout lure, ask locals, it is really the only way, you may need to strip the trout lure or perform slow figure of 8 retrieves with stops to help convince the trout that the trout lure is in fact a poorly fish or other bait.

The Essential Fly sells trout lures at approximately one third of the retail price of other major retailers! Of course we ensure you receive excellent flies manufactured from the best materials available. Our focus is on quality, price and service.

Trout lures come in many shapes and sizes. Different coloured lures can be used at different times of day accoring to the brightness of the sun. Often the same lures are available in standard patterns and beadhead / gold head variants which help the trout fly drop down deeper to those larger rainbow trout. Examples of trout lures available in both variants are:
