Freshwater lures

Will be going to harvey dam/weir soon hoping to catch a few so was just wondering whats the best lures to use for trout, perch, etc. have heard the rapala countdown (cd1) is supposedly pretty good on the trout? any spots in particular there i should try?

cheers sam

Weir

Never bothered fishing the weir itself. All of my trout fishing has been done in the rivers and streams of the south west.

Rapala CD's and FT 5's and 7's in Rainbow Trout or Brown Trout have been pretty successful lures for me. Gold bladed spinners with a splash of red did very well in the rapids below Wellington Dam.
