Trout Fishing Tips for Landing the Big Ones

By Cecile Percival


Each breed of fish has its own idiosyncrasies that you need to learn to be successful. Knowing this will enable you to be more familiar with the particular habits of those fish. Trout fishing almost demands you learn about them because they are smart and well-equipped creatures. Don't expect to have a good catch if you use generic techniques on trout. In order to be successful with this smart fish, you have to become familiar with their habits. To help you get started correctly with trout fishing, here are three important tips you can use.

It's normal in nature for an animal to have native abilities that will allow it to protect itself. A sensitive lateral line is the attribute that many fish, including the brown trout, use as their "early warning system. Acting like a pressure transducer, a line of nerves runs down the entire length of the trout. What this means is that the nerve line is pressure-sensitive. In fact, it's so finely-tuned that a trout knows when someone is walking along their water way. We're not kidding you. Watch an experienced trout angler sometime. You may see that some avid fishers even resort to crawling so as not to alert the trout. An inexperienced fisherman will just blunder along and not even try to be quiet. They don't know any better. Of course, some newbies can't wait to try out their hip waders, and will head right into the water! And they return home empty-handed and disappointed after "fishing" all day, and can't figure out what went wrong.

You will have a better chance of catching a trout in water that's moving, like a small river, if you think about positioning. It only makes some sense that if the water is moving, then you might want to watch it coming toward you. This is efficient because the water is moving and they don't have to expend much energy. Let out enough line so your bait can act like regular food as it travels down a little bit. Just avoid making jerky movements, and you need to be smooth with how you do it. Now that you've decided that you want to be a trout fisher, it's necessary to buy an appropriate fishing pole and reel. There are rod and reel combos that are made just for trout fishing, and this is what you want to find. Light action models are what you should be shopping for. And if you're not sure about it, then go to a pro fishing shop and simply ask. They love to help newcomers who are just getting started in this challenging, and enjoyable, sport. Nevertheless, keep in mind when you are shopping that you don't need a rod for trout that is longer than six feet. In fact, less than six feet is better. There's no need to get a monster reel, just one that matches the length of the rod. Less than six pound test is the ideal line you want to choose for your reel. You can rig up with lighter gear if you want, but don't go any heavier. These are the limits you should not pass.

Beyond technique, you have to keep your tackle properly maintained, and this is what we'll talk about next. Best Practices is the name by which this collection of information is known. Following them will help ensure the enjoyability of your fishing trips. Take the time to learn and fine-tune the following examples until they become second nature. Before you head out for your fishing trip, go through your tackle box and check all your hooks and line. Sharpen your hooks. Go over all your knots and line and see if there is any wear and tear or spots that are weak. Change out the parts of your line that are questionable and retie any loose knots. Do you want to have to talk about "the one that got away" when you return home because you didn't check your line and it snapped?

The way the trout see your bait is important to the success of your fishing. It's important that the diameter of the line you use is matched to the length of your fishing rod.

There's a lot to think about with gear and tools that help you be better. It's much better to have bags and other accessories hanging off you when you're in the water, and you want to avoid having the things you need sitting nicely on the bank. You should know that trout can feel you moving, so walking around is not the best thing in the world to do. If you are not aware of trout and fish senses, then you have to learn because it's critical. When you catch a wild trout, you have made quite an accomplishment, as they are a very competitive game fish. You can be especially proud of your day if you are a newcomer to trout fishing. Learn to analyze your situation and apply different strategies for different situations. Don't stop doing research to learn new techniques because there are a lot of different situations you can run into.
