G'day Jim,I think that you will find that the spotted dog pattern was produced to mimic the coloring up of trout during the spawning run to antagonize those fish sitting on their redds.The smaller fish move in to feed on the ova.Try them at the end of the season after the first snow falls up on the peaks.Rod Bender wrote:A Silver and a Gold Vibrax spinner to try on the trout as well as the Rapala 'Spotted Dog' pattern lures. I really don't know why I purchased these as I have 'painted' up the pattern before on 'Trout' colored lures and they haven't done anything exceptional but time will tell!
thanks
Jim

If you stopped sending them out to the salmon schools without being connected to your rod and reel, you wouldn't need to get santa to drop them off :tongue:
