You Can Catch trout Just like The Experts

By Antony Wilton

Tip Number One. Always use Ultra light fishing tackle when fishing for trout in streams or rivers. on numerous occasions I have witnessed fishermen or women attempting to hook trout with medium capacity tackle from experience I can verify that you will have limited success with this gear. the solution is to use tackle consisting of an ultra light rod and reel with a very light fishing line.

Personally, I've found that four-pound test mono filament line works best when fishing for trout. Using light line and gear are paramount for trout fishing, especially if you're fishing small rivers and streams.

Number 2. Be aware of your shadow. Refrain from casting a shadow on the area you will be fishing, particularly when fishing in small rivers and streams. Casting a shadow is a certain way to scare away the larger, older trout from the area. Take my word for it, if you want to catch trout, you must be aware of your shadow.

Number 3. I am sure that no artificial bait or lure beats the effectiveness of a plain-old live worm when it comes to catching trout. For me, a live worm riding the current of a small river or stream will attract trout most times the fish are present. And the best way to rig a live worm for trout fishing is to use a set of gang hooks. With ganged hooks, light tackle and live worms you are well on the way to a good catch.

Number 4. Using small spinners, in the 3-7/16 range, are terrific bait for catching trout. While effective in many trout fishing situations, the small spinners are perfect for fishing rivers and streams. Popping your rod tip while allowing the spinner to flow with the current can be especially effective. Using black, browns and other dark colors with gold blades is optimal. Be sure to attach your spinner to your line with a small barrel swivel for best results. Not only will it stop your line from twisting, but it will also ensure that your spinner works efficiently.

Using any or all of these tips will make you a much more effective trout angler. There you have it. Just put these tips into practice, as the sooner you do, the more likely you are to reel in the big one.
