What's in your vise?

Actually, I don't think so, as it's popular year-round (or, at least, from the first Saturday in January until October 15). The ubiquitous creek chubs spawn in the spring and I am told that trout key onto eggs at that time.
The spring creeks here are full of scuds, and at times they get an orange-pinkish color to them; in fact, a small scud pattern, grey with a small pink color pop in the middle, also works great. So that's what I think the trout are thinking. I'll quickly add that I am no expert in the matter. But they catch trout, brookies, browns, and the rare rainbow that is occasionally planted by the WisDNR.
