1. yes to both
2. fly fishing thas what you do to catch trout
3. i have used spinners, artificial worms and anything else you can think of to catch fish in Montana. just check the rules before you fish. quite a few streams are artificial lure only.
4. yes to both but casting spinners are not considdered sporting
5. Spinners do great on wild trout in Wyoming, so I would take them to Montana and expect to catch fish.
6. I've never caught any trout on anything but power bait, salmon eggs or nightcrawlers. I have an array of spinners, spoons and lures of all types and sizes and have never known a fish to give one a second look. Once I caught a tiny bass on a spinner. A green trout, I couldn't believe it!
7. both ways would be just as effective
8. Depends on the local rules, how deep the water is + the weather.
9. yes
10. Flies and spinners are extremely effective. Woolly buggers are the best flies that I use.
