When to Use Fishing Lures
For better or worse, the effectiveness of lures relies on just the right conditions. Lures are best used when:
- The water is nice and clear
- The weather is warmer
- You’re dealing with aggressive, predatory fish
- There are a lot of undersized or non-target fish present
- You’re in a catch and release area
- When signs are deeming the waters “artificial only” or “fly and lure only”
