Preparing For Trout Fishing Michigan

By Nancy Gardner


Fishing is a great outdoor activity with family and friends. However, for the children it can be boring and frustrating. With adequate practice and planning, the day can be quite productive and enjoyable in trout fishing Michigan and give you a chance to spend time with your friends or family.

The first thing you need to understand before you make arrangements to go fishing in Newaygo is the laws governing state fishing. A license is also required in order to participate in the activity. There are booklets outlining the regulations, restrictions and limits in angling available in all the departments dealing with wildlife management. Adherence to them makes sure that the ecosystem and populations of fish are maintained at a balance and in productive levels too.

When fishing in the rivers, light tackle is preferable. The line printed on the angling pole determines the weight of the pole . The rod should weight anywhere between 2 and 8 lbs. Purchasing a reel and rod duo will ensure that you get good standard and quality products.

Some experienced fishermen discourage the purchase of reel which comes with a button to press in case you wish to release the bait. This is because this kind of a reel is susceptible to internal tangles. It can be quite frustrating to handle by inexperienced people.

Go for a river with naturally occurring trout or one which is occasionally stocked with them. The booklet about angling gives information concerning the rivers with trout and the type of the trout contained therein. If trout occurs naturally in the rivers, there are restrictions on the type of bait and tackle to be used. Mostly, only lures made artificially and single hooked are allowed. It is very difficult to catch the trout when you are using such.

The tackle has to be rigged up before you leave. The recommended way of doing this is by use of a clinch knot tied on a cylinder. Hand-made knots should be avoided at all costs because they will result to the cutting of the monofilament line. A good way to get a look at how this happens is by tying a knot on the line and quickly jerking it.

Split weights have to be attached in the fishing rod. They are a way of controlling the drifting of the bait and also enable effective casts. They are placed beneath the hook at about one sixth of a meter and pinched such that they do not randomly move along the line. However, the pinching should also allow for weight adjustments. This can be implemented using needle nose type of pliers.

Before purchasing bait, you should ensure that it is allowed for use in the river you will be fishing at in Newaygo. The common bait types in fishing trout include canned kernels from corn, earthworms and salmon roe. Spoons and small spinners can be used as well. In small rivers, lighter lure is to be used but if the river has fast moving water, heavier lures are necessary.
