Which hard lure to choose for trout in small rivers?

In small rivers, choosing the right hard lure is crucial. The limited space calls for compact and manoeuvrable lures, capable of working immediately.

Size and weight

Hard lures suited to streams generally measure:

between 30 and 50 mm
with sufficient weight for precise short-range casts
good stability in irregular currents

Swimming action type

Sinking minnows: perfect for currents and fast water lanes
Floating or suspending minnows: ideal for shallow areas and marked holding spots
Compact crankbaits: for quickly prospecting active areas

Our selection of hard lures for small rivers

Our range of trout hard lures for small rivers consists of models that are:

selected from recognised brands
effective in clear as well as slightly stained water
robust against impacts and obstacles
suited to upstream, downstream or ¾ upstream retrieves

Each lure is chosen for its swimming action, its ease of use and its triggering power, for both beginner and experienced anglers alike.

Tips for fishing small rivers

To maximise your results:

favour precise casts, upstream of holding spots
adapt your retrieve: slow in cold water, more dynamic in summer
choose natural colours in clear water, more contrasted ones in stained water
focus on key holding spots: roots, boulders, drop-offs, eddies
