Anyone who spends time fishing for trout knows that trout fishing involves more than simply putting some salmon eggs or live worm onto a hook and calling it good. If you want to be truly successful as a trout fisherman you need to have some different trout rigs at you disposal. When I use the term 'trout rigs' I'm referring to different ways of rigging your bait and or lure so as to give you the best opportunity to catch trout.
Before we get into the rigs themselves, let's discuss some basic trout fishing etiquette. When fishing for trout, light line and small hooks should always be employed. All too often I see trout fishermen using line and hooks that are much too large for trout fishing. You're line should be no heavier than eight pound test and your hooks should never be larger than size six, in most instances. When it comes to trout fishing the bottom line is this: the lighter the line and the smaller the hooks, the more bites you will get.
Now, shall we get down to the trout fishing rigs that will help you catch more fish? Sounds good. The first two rigs are for still fishing, the third is for the flowing waters of rivers and streams.
- The 3-way Rig - This trout rig involves a snap-loc sinker, a three way swivel, a hook (or set of gang hooks), and your trout bait of choice. Begin my taking the end of your line and cutting off two pieces, both 12-18 inches long. Set these pieces if line aside. Now choose a three way swivel that is comparable to the size of the line that you are using, and tie one end to the end of your line. Now take one of the pieces of line and tie it to one of the other ends of the swivel. At the end of the line, tie on a snap-loc sinker (1/4 to 3/8 ounce will normally suffice). You should have one more end of the swivel to tie off to. Tie the last piece of line to this end of the swivel. Now tie your hook (many trout fishermen like a small treble hook) onto this piece of line, and add the trout bait of your choice.
- The Slip Rig - This trout rig is best used with some sort of floating trout bait, so it floats off the bottom. Begin by taking the end of your line and snipping off one piece 12-18 inches long and setting it aside. Now slip an egg sinker onto your line. At this point tie a small barrel swivel to the end of your line, which will act as a 'stopper' for the egg sinker. On the opposite end of the barrel swivel tie on a set of pre-tied gang hooks (size 8 or 10 are the most effective). Now add enough trout bait to completely cover each of the hooks on your trout fishing rig. The slip rig is now good to go.
Both of these trout rigs are for use when still fishing. They should be cast out and allowed to sink to the bottom. Then the slack line is reeled in slowly until the line is completely taught. Many trout fishermen choose to prop their rod against a forked stick for stability. At this point it's a waiting game. My normal rule of thumb is to wait at least a half and hour before checking your bait, unless you've had a bite of course. It shouldn't take too long for your rod to start bouncing.
