In this article I’m going to outline a few simple ways to catch more trout whenever you go out trout fishing. I’m not talking about “fly fishing” since fly fishing is the way I’ve been traditionally regarded and taught to trout fishing. I’m referring to both the traditional way of wading and drift fishing for trout as well as using traditional spin fishing gear when targeting trout. The truth is that either type of “spinner and bait” fishing for trout can be very effective, and in this article I will outline both methods.
Trout Fishing Tips to Catch More
Although there are many different baits that can be used to catch trout (including live baits such as Berkley Powerbait), the most effective are small spinners and spoons. There are two main categories of these trout fishing lures: marabou and fished roller simply because marabou and fished roller have caught trout on many occasions whereas the other options have not. Either type can be used effectively to catch trout, and with experience, one will become quite proficient at determining the best configuration for whatever body of water that you are fishing.
There are some ways to fish that seem to be effective a majority of the time, but I have learned over the past twenty years that some of these techniques are effective under certain circumstances and can be keys to a successful day on the water. Keep these simple trout fishing tips in mind and you will be a much more successful trout angler.
Pay Attention To Sight
The best way to get Ramirez right is to pay attention to where exactly you’re fishing and how much light is flowing or not. When I speak of light, I’m referring to the level of moon and/or sun that is making contact with the water, not the sun reflected off the water. Try to spend more time on the water when the fish are very active and feeding, versus additional time anchored. The fish will be feeding when you are most likely to be fishing.
Top Water Baits Are Effective
Most anglers consider top water baits, such as poppers, larger artificial worms, and other varieties of inflated bait to be “fly fishing”. I have caught a lot of trout by fishing this way for species such as rainbow trout, cutthroat, and brook trout. The beauty of topwater trout fishing is that you can get into the area of the water that you want to fish without having to “ear it” like other anglers do. In other words, you can walk right up to the water, go through your rows of bait, and bait your hook (or hooks if using live bait) without ever having to “chase your worm” or dealing with those “sometimes stinging” hooks on well off shore bushes.
Move Around Whenflies Into The Water
mosquitoes are a huge problem, and if you want to target both deer and trout while using “nystaps”, insect repellent is the ticket. Trout tend to eat the eggs laid by insects more readily than many of the other fish. When trout eat this bait, a tremendous amount of bait can accumulate near the bottom of the stream, where you will more easily see a large number of hungry trout in the area.
It Is Good To Be In A Covered Area
Fly fishing is a wonderful and all encompassing way to enjoy trout fishing. However, being able to set up and fish comfortably in a trout stream is a vital part of the experience. It would be quite a stretch to consider any technique as effective without being able to fish at the same spot for a long period of time. Trout fishing in a bottom-line way might be more enjoyable, but in the long run you will want to make sure that you are spending time on the water fishing for the species of fish you plan to catch.
