What kind of spinner you need to fish in Mongolia?

Few years ago in September we were traveling to fish along the Tarvagatai River in Mongolia for trout . The scene was beautiful with red, orange and yellow trees on mountain range. This time were going to test our newly purchased “Blue Fox” spinners and very much excited. On the road we dropped by local nomads and while talking about the weather and so on we asked what kind of lures would work best this time of the year. The local herder said “in this kind of leaves of trees turning to yellow period silver spinner would go”. I had silver “Blue Fox” spinners but my friends brought golden and bronze spinners.
