Comments on: How to Catch Trout

on 8/17/2007 Trout is one of my favorite fishes but I've never had the opportunity to catch my own. Perhaps now I will! :)

on 3/18/2007 I have a lot of success with an orange jig and a nightcrawler dipped in corn dip.especially when drift trolling just bounce the jig around a little bit and wait for a strike they usually will occurr very often on a pause. Good luck!!!

on 3/18/2007 I like to use powerbait corn dip and orange and black rapalas. They work really well for cuts and kokanees and bows

on 8/8/2006 What you want to do is have 4 pound test line with a size 12 hook (small hook). Most trout do not mind the shadow, but to be safe try not showing it. They mostly love salmon eggs and mealworms. Put a small weight on, about finger tip to elbow length up the line. Then you need to spot out the best location were you think trout would be hiding; like huge gaps in rocks or broken brush. If it is fast moving water, throw your bait more upstream.

on 8/8/2006 Use a small, golden hook with two small worms on it. Don't put sinkers on it. Find a dark place under a bridge and cast as far as you can upstream and let the current take it. After it passes you, reel it in very slowly. Remember to set the hook fast!

on 8/8/2006 With my experience, I have caught so many rainbow trout with 2-3 white power eggs covered in Powerbait trout attractant on a size 6 snelled hook. They go crazy for them. The hook goes deep inside their mouth, so you don't have to worry about it coming out.

on 8/8/2006 No matter what bait you use, put it on carefully, check it or move it every 20-35 minutes. If you're fishing in moss, lengthen up your leader line or use a bobber. Vegetation is a great area in lakes, just as where water enters the lake is also. I like to cast out and pay attention to how long it takes for my bait to reach bottom. I look for holes and stay out of currents. OK, now go get your fishies!

on 8/8/2006 When all other baits fail, use whole kernel sweet corn soaked in olive oil, onion, or garlic dip. This is killer, and you will catch fish. Another good bait is Nitro trout dough, made by Eagle Claw. Very good results.

on 7/28/2006 Place worms (large ones) in a tin, mix in crushed brick and damp moss,1 tablespoon of cod liver oil and leave overnight. Start fishing at first light. Rub your fingers with dirt to take the smell off your hands before hooking on a worm, as trout and salmon have a great sense of smell.

on 7/26/2006 In rocky streams, when using any kind of weight or worm, don't let your line loose or you could get caught in the rocks. Keep your line tight and you can also feel the bite better and set the hook.

on 7/20/2006 Curly tail grubs work great for warmer water. They are great for both freshwater and saltwater.

on 6/30/2006 If nothing else works, try putting a small piece of shrimp on the hook, then put the worm on second, with a drop of scented gel to get them to bite.

on 6/30/2006 Tie a sinker on 2-3 feet from a triple hook, then put on some garlic and marshmallows with a night crawler. Then toss it out and wait for the magic.

on 6/30/2006 Power bait seems to work good whenever you're fishing for smaller trout, but Lip RipperZ will catch you the bigger trout. Berkley has a website with tips on it and Lip RipperZ has a website with their tips. I followed their website techniques and always out-fish everyone else. Almost always at least. Hope this helps!
