Sorry, I have to pass. Could never bring myself to just list 2!
Trout magnet in many colors. Love the bison, root beer, and most of the other colors. One of the colors will almost always work. Don’t have a number two favorite as of yet.
Bob
Spin: trout magnet and marabou jig.
Fly: deer hair dry fly for top water and black RLD for subsurface.
Bob's Jigs ice fluke or Northland Water flea.
Trout Magnet 99 percent of the time. Come winter time might use the MagBite McFly in the dead lock.

1/80 oz. kiptail jig black/black. baited
Tough statement to make for me. I have to leave stuff home so I’m not distracted into constantly changing lures. Silver or black rooster tail, a light one. The beetle spins have accounted for many too. Nowadays I throw a 1/80 to 1/32 jig and keep it just above the junk and it’s gets hammered regularly. The Itty Bitty swimmers and slab slayers have their own little box too. Caught crappie over 2lbs on the #8 sickles I use.
Trout magnet tipped with a chartreuse nibble or tiny worm chunk. BG itty bit swimmers are fun also.Attachment 398593Attachment 398595Attachment 398596

Kind of depends at what depth fish are hitting. Light lures for 3' or less, a bit heavier for over 3'.
