Lake Trout Fishing Techniques

View:

Rainbow Trout are one of the most enjoyable fish to catch in freshwater, especially if that water is moving. Although rainbow trout can be found on lakes and ponds in my opinion they are meant to be caught in the flowing water of a river or stream which is what I'm going to discuss in this article. I'm not going to discuss the act of flicking feathers back and forth either. I'm going to discuss the most effective way that I've personally ever seen for catching Rainbow Trout, especially when it comes to the flowing water provided by rivers and streams.

The technique is really quite simple and only requires a few things. Here's what you're going to need: small barrel swivels, split shot sinkers, gang hooks, and live worms (I suggest having a way to carry your worms, such as a bait bag, but this obviously isn't an integral part of the technique). Simple enough, right? I think the fact that the technique is so simple is also what makes it so effective.

The goal is to bounce your live worm off the bottom, as it flows naturally downstream. First, take the end of your line and tie on a small barrel swivel. Now tie on a set of size 8 or 10 gang hooks (you can make your gang hooks yourself or buy them from JRWfishing.com). Now add enough split shot to get you to the bottom. Start with 2 and see what happens. Some experimentation is involved until you get the correct amount of weight. Now add a live worm, and your good to go. You want to cast this rig parallel to yourself and let it flow naturally with the current as it bounces off the bottom. You will get snagged from time to time, it's inevitable. As my mentor used to say, "If you're not getting snagged, you're not fishing in the right place."

The technique described above is the most effective technique for catching rainbow trout in moving water. The same rig, with an egg sinker instead of split shot will work well for lake fishing also. The gang hooks allow you to present the live worm in a completely natural manner, the way God intended, which is a huge advantage to the angler. Using this technique will not only enable you to catch more Rainbow Trout, but trout of all kinds as well.

Lake Trout Fishing Techniques

The territory from Labrador westward to the Saskatchewan is known as the native habitat of brook trout. Rainbow trout are conspicuous in the Pacific slope from Alaska to California.

Brown trout are abundantly seen in the waters of every American state except Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Arkansas and Florida. Sometimes it has been spotted in the waters of some of these states, but there is no official verification of these citings, according to conservation officials. Brown trout also abound in some parts of Canada.

You need to consider some factors in order to successfully catch trout fish.

1. Do not grease the leader for it won't sink deep enough to give trouble, when pulling the lure and line from the water. However, if you allow it to float, the shadow cast by it, on the bottom of the stream, may scare away the trout.

2. Trouts can usually be secured through the use of dry fly. You should fish in both the current as well as in the pools for trout. Sometimes, it will be difficult for the angler to keep the fly from dragging or sinking because of the force of the current. The angler will have to depend on his dexterity for this.

3. It is not wise to fish for trout directly upstream as the leader, line, and flies will float directly over the fish. You should make the cast from one side of the stream. This will ensure that only the fly will float over the fish.

4. Remember that the first cast should be the best cast. Usually the first lure presented, is struck by a feeding trout if it floats over his private territory. You should never forget to fish in the lower end of the pool first, even if the trout are coming up in the upper or middle end.

5. On account of being moody or selective, trout may try the patience of any angler. Therefore, a fly or if necessary, a spent-wing fly or a fan wing, may do the trick without much hassle.

Indeed, you can enjoy a lot and have fun while fishing for trout. Following the tips above will definitely ensure a happy catch.
