Trout Fishing Tips 217
The next thing to keep in mind when fishing for trout is the size of the fishing gear that’s employed. Too often beginning trout anglers use fishing gear that’s entirely too heavy. One of the most important basics of trout fishing is to use ultralight rods, reels, and light line. Not only does this make trout fishing much more sporting and fun, the use of ultralight gear also makes fishing much more effective as well. I personally use four pound test monofilament fishing line when trout fishing and nothing heavier than six pound test should ever be employed when fishing for trout (in most situations).
Trout Fishing Tip #1: Gear – when it comes to trout fishing, the size of your gear and bait do matter. The location where you’ll be fishing and the size of trout you’re hoping to catch determines whether you use ultra light gear (fishing pole and reel), light gear, or heavier-duty gear. Unless you are fishing for the legendary trout, a solid trout fishing tip is to use ultra light or light gear.
Trout Fishing Tip #2: Bait – A good trout fishing tip is to use a hook size 10 when using live bait. Small lures are best for trout fishing, as well as spinners and spoons that aren’t any more than ounce in size. If you prefer minnow-type plugs, anything exceeding four inches long might be too long and not as effective.
