The weight of the lure makes it easier to aim. Lures can be cast easily into streams, often under low-slung branches and hard to reach places. This is because trout are not stupid fish and will avoid thick line. Line should be light, say, 4- to 6-pound test. They often have treble hooks, but if one is committed to catch-and-release, the barbs can easily be mashed down or the hook could be switched to a single-point barbless one.
There are other, fancier and more expensive lures (like the rapala), but for starters, these are good, basic lures. But all respond quite well to a few basic lures, like the Castmaster, the Rooster Tail and the Panther Martin. The lakes and streams around here are stocked with rainbow and brown trout for the most part, and brook trout and kokanee and a few other species are possible as well. I would recommend not spending a whole lot of time in the backyard, however. But I felt like a fisherwoman from an early age. Coming from New York City, I guess my dad never saw the need to bring us to a lake or stream, so it wasn’t until years later that I ever actually cast into water. When I was little, my dad gave my little brother and I a rod and reel hooked up with a rubber sinker and we would practice “precision” casting into a tire in the backyard. You probably will catch more fish, as well. It is a lot less expensive and affords just as much exercise. The reel is easy to master and one is not as likely to hang up on assorted bushes and trees while attempting to cast and spend three-quarters of her time cursing and untangling line as one does while learning to fly-fish. All you need is a simple light rod and reel, some lures, and a few tools. The point is that fishing with lures is a good way to start fishing streams.
Of course, one could watch Brad Pitt throw a ham sandwich into the river and it wouldn’t look half bad, but I digress … It is not as romantic as “A River Runs Through It.” I guess it’s not as visually pleasing as watching Brad Pitt cast a fly gracefully through the air and expertly drop it onto a stream. After all, books and movies are not featuring spin fishing.

I have heard several women say, “I’d like to go fishing, but I don’t know how to fly-fish.” It is as though fly-fishing is the only type of stream fishing they have heard of.
