Frequently Asked Questions

What is the High Sierra Trout System?

It is a high-country trout kit for alpine lakes, clear water, and small forage. It packs trolling flies, soft baits, a small spoon, a Trout Trap XL, and a floating Fly Shad hardbait. Built for casting, slow retrieves, and light trolling from a boat, tube, or shore.

What is in the kit?

You get a Sunrise Trigger Fly, a 2-pack of Olive Trigger Buggers, Mini Blue Mini Grubs, June Bug Brady Bugs, a Chub Junior Trigger Spoon, a Pearl White CA Trout Trap XL, and a Realistic Shad Fly Shad Floating Hardbait. Colors and options may vary.

Who is this kit built for?

It is made for High Sierra and alpine lakes, clear cold water, and trout keyed on small forage. Backpackers, kayak anglers, and shore casters get a compact box that covers casting, slow retrieves, and light trolling in one lightweight, mountain-ready set of tackle.

Can I cast this kit from shore?

Yes. The Junior Trigger Spoon, Trout Trap XL, and Fly Shad hardbait all cast and retrieve well from the bank. The flies and soft plastics work best on a slow retrieve or light troll, so you can cover a whole alpine cove without a boat.

How do I fish the Junior Trigger Spoon?

Fish the Chub Junior Trigger Spoon clean, cast and retrieve or troll it on its own rather than behind an attractor. Its small profile and tight flutter suit the clear water and modest forage of high mountain lakes, where a compact spoon draws wary trout without spooking them.

What should I add to this kit?

Add a spare Junior Trigger Spoon 1.25 inch Trout and Salmon. It is the workhorse casting and trolling piece of the kit, so a backup in another finish keeps you fishing after a snag and lets you match the exact forage color the trout are chasing that day.
