Are those spoons as heavy as they look? I know an old spoon company and spoons are lighter than air, action like no other! But all those colors, do they matter that much? I have silver, brass, copper, black(I painted). Hammered or smooth, treble or single hook. I use single hook, can only put two in the box and trebles kill lots of trout I can not put in the box alive or dead, so I feel good about missing a share. But not sure how many those “frying pans” could wiggle up…of course at my lake 4# is a nice one. 8-11# my biggest. And where do the trout go in the fall/early winter? But if I had a live well I could/would win an October bass tournament trolling
I'm gonna try to answer your questions best I can. Yes, colors matter up here. Most spoons we use have treble hooks. Most trout run the tribs in Fall/early Winter.
On Lake Ontario for Salmon and Trout the Thermocline is where the water temp breaks from warm to cold. Personally, I like to put my high rigger in 58-62* water and stuff everything else below that. One exception is in the Fall with staging Salmon. They don't mind warmer water.

what does the thermocline mean when you say you are fishing in it ?
