Monday, June 15th, 2009
Great trout fishing baits are the primary requirements for trout fishing. However, there are several kinds of baits to choose from, and selecting the best bait to use is a complicated issue. Most trout are picky. Often times, they are unpredictable in their tastes. They may like one kind of bait today and another kind for the next day. To be more successful in trout fishing, wide variety of bait to try will be helpful. There are also factors that you may consider in knowing how and what the trout eats. These factors includes: water and weather temperature for that day, species of trout and other factors.

You may also ask some key informants like the people who also fish trout in the same area or someone in charged in the place you are fishing at, to get some information about what kinds of bait do fishes enjoy in a specific day. But before anything else, keep in mind that the most important thing to do is go to the area prepared and make sure to bring several kinds of bait with you. So that, if one kind of bait did not work fine, you may try another kind of bait until you found the right bait to use.

One of the best bait options is worm, but there are many different types and sizes of worms. An example of one of best worm to use as bait is the Night crawler. Trout usually like these types of worms. Night crawler worms are easy to get, have good weight and are easy to use. Other types of worms are water worms and Hellgamites.

Sometimes, small minnow worms are also good to use as live baits but it depends on the type of trout and the season.

Choose bait depending on the type of trout that you want to catch. Be sure that you know how to hook them properly, especially when you are using live baits. You can try these additional tips for using baits in trout fishing:

Trout Fishing in Southern California Mountain Streams - Part I

Thursday, May 14th, 2009
Southern California has a vast array of streams running through its mountains which are stocked regularly with trout during the cooler months. Although we will be concerning ourselves mainly with these ‘stocked’ fish, many of these streams also contain ‘native’ trout which may be caught year round. In this article, we will be discussing the equipment and tackle needed to catch these sometimes elusive fish.

Before you can even begin, you will need a rod and reel (Although you could just as easily use something as simple as a stick with fishing line and a hook?). Ultra-light tackle is preferable, as it is smaller, lighter and more sensitive than its normal (or heavy duty) counter parts. Fishing line comes in many pound (lb.) test ratings, but 2 to 4 lbs. test is best for stream fishing as it is of a small diameter which makes it harder for the fishes to see underwater. This light line is also ok since most of the fish caught will be less than one pound. Many anglers find that a fly fishing rig works well too, but unless you have experience fly fishing it can be a daunting task on the small mountain streams.

The only other things we will need to begin are hooks, weights, and bait. For hooks, treble hooks in the 14 – 16 range work best for these smaller trout, and cheese baits stay on these best. There are also small salmon egg hooks if you chose to us salmon eggs as bait, but you can also just put 3 eggs on one hook and save from having 2 types of hooks. For weight, small lead ‘split-shot’ work best as you can add and remove them as needed. Split-shot come in many sizes, but it is sometimes easier to get the smaller and use what is needed than the larger and not be able to put the amount weight you want. Lastly we will need some sort of bait (although spinner bait and spoons can be used, bait is easier in these small streams). Bait can be commercially packaged salmon eggs, cheeses and other so called trout baits, but what I personally found to work best is plain old Velveeta cheese. You may also want to try corn, worms, live bugs or dry flies– the choice is yours.

Now for the fishing part, almost - but if you are 16 years of age or older, you will need to purchase a fishing license for a small fee (this helps to pay for the fish we are trying to catch). All that is left now is to find one of the many streams that are stocked, find a good fishin’ hole and catch a few trout for dinner.

In the next part, we will cover some actual techniques for fishing the streams of the mountains of Southern California.

5 Hot Tips On Trout Fishing

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
In fishing, trout are one of the favorite “fishing friends” of most anglers. These crafty fish are abundant anywhere. The native habitat of these crafty fish depends on the type of trout.

For brook trout, the native habitat includes the territory from Labrador westward to the Saskatchewan, while the rainbow trout is a native of the Pacific slope from Alaska to California.

On the other hand, brown trout has found its way into the waters of every state in the United States except Florida, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas. It has been reported in the waters of some of these states, but according to conservation officials, no authentic reports have been received. It is also found in many parts of Canada.

In trout fishing, there are some factors that need to be considered in order to have a successful catch.

1. For trout fishing, the leader should not be greased. It will not sink far enough to cause any difficulty when picking the line and lure from the water, but if it is allowed to float; it will cast a shadow on the bottom of the stream which may scare the trout.

2. The trout is one of the fishes that are usually secured through the use of the dry fly. For trout, the current as well as the pools should be fished. It may sometimes be a bit difficult to keep the fly from sinking or dragging because of the various conditions of the current, but this is a matter that the angler will have to figure out for himself.

3. It is not good practice when fishing for trout to fish directly upstream so the flies, line, and leader will float directly over fish. The fisherman should make the cast from one side of the stream so the fly will only float over the fish.

4. It is important to make the first cast the best. A feeding trout will usually strike the first lure presented if it is cast so that it will float over his private domain. The angler should never fail to fish the lower end of the pool first even if the trout are rising in the middle or upper end.

5. Trout are sometimes very moody or selective and will try the patience of any angler; hence, possibly a fly with less hackle will do the trick or it may be necessary to use a spent-wing fly or a fan wing.

Indeed, catching trout fishes can be lots of fun. The anglers just have to remember these tips in order to have a happy catch.

originally from North Carolina and other near states. However, speckled trout can also be found all over the country.
