trout fishing tips

If you want to know how to catch trout, then this is the place for you. Trout are a (mostly) freshwater fish that are finicky and cunning. They can be very difficult to catch at times and often dwell in clear mountain streams where they can see you better than you can see them. It is seldom that fishing becomes such a delicate experience as trying to toss a bait close enough to a fish to get its attention, but not too close as to startle and spook it off.

There are many ways to catch trout and outwit the cunning devils of our waterways. There are different rod and reel setups, different kinds of lures as well as a myriad of myths and superstitions surrounding trout fishing. From my experience, these are the top five strategies that will catch you trout.

1. Live Bait
Live bait is certainly the simplest and surest way to catch trout. If there are trout in the water, there is a chance that live bait is probably the most effective bait for them unless they happen to be very well fed. Often times trout are released from a hatchery and in the wild don't know what to eat so they are usually very hungry and will take just about any live bait. Especially for children I recommend beginning your trout fishing experience with live bait.

2. Spinning Lures
Spinning lures are the easiest way to catch trout with an artificial lure. The benefit of using a spinning lure like this is that you can catch multiple fish on the lure. You also do away with the inevitable messy hands problem when dealing with live bait. To properly use a spinning lure, you should cast it out and reel it in against the flow of the current, perpendicular to it. This is best for aggravating fish who are not hungry into striking out of aggression.

3. Small Jigs
Small jigs and tube like lures are best for catching trout that you see lazily laying along the bottom of a stream. Using these lures involves applying a great degree of finesse, gently bouncing the lure along the bottom of the stream close to the trout, enticing and tricking them into taking the lure.

4. Fly Fishing
Fly fishing is a very effective method of trout fishing. Fly fishing involves using an entirely different rod, reel and type of lure. You use a heavy line and cast "flies" out, which are very small lures that look like insects. It is the weight of the line that you use to cast. You drift these tiny bug lures made of string and feathers down the stream and past the trout. This is another very effective trout fishing method when used correctly, but requires even a greater degree of finesse than using jigs.

5. Ice Fishing
Ice fishing for trout can be very fun if you know what you're doing. Of course you need to live in the right climate to ice fish. The best trout to ice fish for can grow very large and are called lake trout. In order to ice fish you drill several holes deep into the ice, then hook live bait deep down into the water through the holes. You use a setup that makes a little flag pop up when the fish bites and when he does, you pull the line up. A good lake trout can feed a family twice over.
