small and gold would be best but it's really a poor trout lure....use a trout worm or nightcrawler on a number 8 hook with a small splitshot about 8-10inches from it or a small mepps spinner would be better. Have Luck!

We have the best luck with spinners and buck tails.  Usually like them to have a little red on them.  You can use a little red finger nail polish on the head or spinner.  Also perch colored ones work great. When we are going after large pike we like to use muskie bate.  You will usually catch a lot of pike but an occasional muskie.  Nothing beats that!\n\nhttp://www.crazydtackle.com/spinbuckraddog.shtml

Maggots, worms are good as the trout is very predatory. Also they will take bread flake, infact they love it. Its cheap and can be used with ease. A top bait, and it works at night, they can really smell it. For me, it would be bread then maggots then worms TIGHT LINES

Orange and red with at least 2 hooks in a trailer pattern! Be sure to use at least a 6 pount test unless the big boys are around. Then move up your test lines accordingly!

It all depends on where at in MT, what kind of fishing you like to do, and if you are just after catching fish or you want to catch a big one.  For flyfishing the best river is the Missouri just north of Helena about 30 miles next to Craig, MT.  Down south of Billings about 45 miles is Harlowtown and the Big Horn is there.  Both of these rivers have great rainbow and brown trout (avg size is 18-22 inches)  In the North west corner (Flathead Valley, where I live) is Flathead Lake which has many different species, if you are not familiar with the lake I would suggest hiring a guide to show you the ropes this lake is fished with a boat and usually downriggers.  Just across the mountains from here is the blackfoot indian reservation (special $10/day or $60/yr permit required) and there is approx 6 lakes over there that are stocked with rainbows and it is not uncommon to catch fish that weigh 8 lbs. or more, they can be fished from boat or shore, fly or spinner.  Other than that there is multitude of places with great fishing in MT, just ask around and usually you will at least get pointed in the right direction.  GOOD LUCK!!!

It depends on the type of fish you are talking about. Generally its between 3" to 6".

Gold spinners usually work well for trout in stained water.  Also try live bait, crawlers, minnows etc, gaudy colered lures (rapalla, hot-n-tot).\n\nIt may not be the lures, it may be where you are fishing.  If you are in the north and the water is still pretty cool your best bet would be to work the shallows (especially bays in inlets).  As the water warms up the trout go deeper and you'll have to change your tactics.

Surface area = 60*50 = 3000cm2\n\nOne 5cm tetra => 5*20 = 100cm2 of surface required\n\nNo. of tetras = 3000/100 = 30 neon tetras\n\nPS: I'm impressed with the length of your neon tetras. Are they the ones from the Amazon? I really love them, but always include some guppies, 1 male Siamese fighting fish, 1 female Siamese fighting fish and a few orange platys to add more colour into the tank. If you have other fish, do not put 30 neon tetra in!

I'm a die hard Ranger fan but if money is an issue then I would go with a Stratos, the Ranger's aren't too bad of a price for a fish and ski, and for a stratos it will be less and have a decent ride, I own two  rangers and love them booth, I have fished out of the stratos and they are pretty darn good also pretty well built. I think the tritions ride is pretty rough and my honest opinion the skeeter is over rated, my friend has a brand new 55,000 dollar skeeter and hates it, the thing is built cheap and pretty poor quality, but he didn't take our word on what to buy so he's stuck with it for at least this year. good luck and have fun on the water

I use #2 or #3 tru-turn hooks for small orlarge mouthh bass. The weight depends on how you are gonna fish. Either you are on the bank fishing or you are in a boat. I use about 1/8 oz weight. You have to see what works best for you.

My recommendation is steel, high pressure tank, and 80-100 cu ft.\n\nSteel is negatively buoyant when empty.  This allows you to wear less weight when compared to aluminum tanks.  Avoid neutrally buoyant aluminum tanks.  These are just aluminum tanks with an extra 5#s added to it.\n\nHigh pressure because you get more capacity for the size.\n\n80-100 cu ft since these are the most versatile and will most likely match your buddy.  While 80 cu ft hp tanks are great single tanks, if you plan on doubles, then 100 hp tanks are better since these will trim out better for most people.

Use shinny things. When i go to the rivers or small lakes, i like to us my small silver spinner. Get one that has a contrasting color on it. Mine has a pink strip. But i have found orange, gold, and yellow work just as well. Try to keep it bright so the fish can see the bait. Good Luck!

I usually fish for bass their are not as smelly as the northern pike, although those pike put up a good fight. We usually catch them on a 3/8 oz. spinner bait in a chart. or white/chart color. Red and white dare devils work also, pretty much any thing will work, we have caught them on 7" Black power worms 5" senko's ( they are a little pricey for pike though) my parents neighbor swears by 6 to 8 inch minnows. The spinner bait is probably the easiest way I belive to catch them, as long as they are close by they will inhale them, then it's fight on. Just cast out and reel in. You may want a steel leader I usually just use fire line in 14lb or 20lb and haven't lost one yet, although I would have liked to some times. Good luck and catch them Pike.

Rainbows are always the same size.  The diameter of a rainbow is best expressed in degrees as it is not at a fixed distance away.  Rainbows can be thought of as occupying the surface of a thin cone with its pointy end at your eye, and the angle of the cone is fixed.  This angle depends only on the refractive index of water.\n\nYes - you can get one bigger than a semi-circle, but only if you get well above the earth's surface (perhaps in an aeroplane) so that the ground doesn't get in the way!
