Comments on How to Catch Trout

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Curly tail grubs work great for warmer water. They are great for both freshwater and saltwater.

Trout don't seem to bite when the weather is very warm. Get out there in the morning (5 AM - 12 noon) and evening (4 PM - 8 PM). Trout also love minnows. If you are at a waterfall or in a stream, and you see your minnow is dead, try to make it look alive or put another live minnow on the line.

Take the juice from a can of corn and take some garlic salt and make your own scent; it works like magic.
