Recreation & Leisure Hobbies Sports How To Catch More Trout
Are you looking for ideas to help you catch more trout? I think I've got a few for you. None of these tactics are rocket science or difficult at all. In fact they are quite simple, but very effective. Much of the effectiveness stems from the fact that they are so simple. Many times doing things that are highly technical only end up frustrating the angler. With practice, as you become more and more proficient, these idea's will become "must do's" when fishing for trout. As a matter of fact, you'll probably wonder how you ever fished without them.
Pay Attention To Your Hands - If you want to catch more trout, pay attention to the kinds of scents that might be on your hands. Trout have a very keen sense of smell and can detect these scents on your bait. So if you smoke or pumped gas recently or whatever, the scents on your hands are of the utmost importance. I grab a handful of grass or dirt and rub it in my hands before baiting up. This helps eliminate unnatural odors that may be on your hands, and in turn of whatever bait you're using.
Be Efficient - If you want to catch more trout, the more time that you spend with your line in the water, the better. You can't catch any trout without your line being in the water. This means that while fishing, you want to have your line in the water as much of the time as you can. This is where being efficient comes in. Employing an efficiency helper like a bait bag is a great idea. You see, with a bait bag you're spending much less time fumbling around for your bait, thus your spending more time with your line in the water. With a bait bag, your bait is right there "at your fingertips", waiting to be used.
Use Gang Hooks - Gang hooks are the only way to present live worms in a natural manner, rather than looking like a "worm ball". Gang hooks are simply a pair of small hooks tied in tandem. They are incredibly effective for trout fishing. Rigging a live worm on a set of gang hooks, then allowing it to tumble naturally downstream is an incredibly effective trout catching technique. Tie the gang hooks yourself or purchase them ready to fish, it makes little difference. What's important is that you begin using gang hooks as soon as possible, especially if you want to catch more trout.
Use Light Line - When fishing for trout, the fishing line that you use should be no heavier than 6 pound test. I prefer 4 pound, but 6 is tolerable. Trout (especially large, experienced trout) can see your line underwater if it's too heavy, and this will cost you a ton of bites.
These tips will certainly help you catch more trout, there no doubt about that. And remember, there's no substitute for practice. The more time you can spend on the water refining your skills, the better. These simple ideas, as you become more and more proficient with them will help you catch a lot more trout.
