How to Catch Trout in a River Or Stream
admin asked:
In this article I'm going to reveal some tips and techniques that will teach you how to catch trout in a river or stream. The act of fishing for trout can seem very complicated, but it most certainly isn't especially if you know how to do it, and after reading this article you will know exactly how to do it. These simple tips and techniques will teach you how to catch a trout in a river or stream.
The first thing to keep in mind is that this article is about spin fishing, not fly fishing or "flea flicking" as my mentor used to refer to it. When spin fishing for trout it's very important that ultra light gear (rods and reels) and light line. When I refer to the term 'light line' I'm referring to two to six pound test monofilament. No line heavier than six pound test should be used when trout fishing. This is the first mistake that many trout anglers make.
The next thing to think about is what to use for bait. Small spinners, minnow imitations, and small spoons are all effective trout baits, but few things are more effective for trout than live bait. If you want to know how to catch a trout in a river or stream live bait, and more specifically live worms, should be employed. And when live worms are being used, gang hooks should be used as well. Gang hooks are the best way to present live worms in a natural and realistic manner.
Here is how to rig your live worm to catch a trout. Start by tying a small barrel swivel onto the end of your line. Next, tie a set of pre-tied gang hooks to the opposite end of the barrel swivel. Split shot sinkers are now added for weight above the barrel swivel. The number and size of the split shot will vary with current conditions and water depth. This rig is thrown into the current parallel to where you're standing; the bail of your reel is closed, and the rig is allowed to flow naturally with the current.
This technique and rig are extremely effective and the best way to catch a trout in a river or stream. Another great tip is to have your live worms available for easy access on the water. This is accomplished by using a bait bag, the best live worm carrier on the market today. With the help of a bait bag, your live worms will always be "at your fingertips" waiting to be used.
This is how to catch a trout in a river or stream. Once mastered, these techniques will help you become a much more successful trout angler. Begin using them sooner, rather than later and find out for yourself just how effective these tips are.
