Trout fishing tips come in many forms and it seems like anyone who spends any decent amount of time fishing for trout has a tip that may or may not help you catch more fish. Often times these tips pertain to the act of fly fishing however, as fly fishing is a very popular way to fish for and catch trout. As a person who has been fishing for trout for more than two decades and chooses not to fly fish, this fact has always been a point of frustration to me. I have often thought, "Why is it that fly fishing gets all the love?"
Well in this article I am going to use my extensive experience to outline some trout fishing tips for spinning anglers, so that they too can learn some things to help them be more successful on the water. After all, I have always believed that for those of us who take spin fishing seriously, trout fishing with spinning gear can and should be considered every bit the "art form" that fly fishing is.
The first thing that needs to be discussed when it comes to using spinning gear for trout fishing is the gear itself. Specifically I am referring to your rod, reel, fishing line, and the size of the hooks, bait, and/or lures that you are using. In a nutshell all of these items need to be as light as possible. This means that you have to make sure that you use an ultralight rod and reel that is equipped with 2, 4, or 6 pound test fishing line. Fishing hooks should be small as well, with size 8, 10, and even 12 being the ideal sizes. And when it comes to trout lures such as the very popular spinners and spoons, 1/4 of an ounce is as large as should be used when you are trout fishing (on most bodies of water).
Next we have the use of the fly. As I mentioned earlier, artificial flies can be employed as bait by spinning anglers by utilizing something called a fly fishing bubble and at times these bubbles can be a spin fisherman's best friend when they are trout fishing. If larger flies such as streamers are being used the very effective trout fishing technique known as "drift fishing" can also be used. Drift fishing with streamers is a technique that every spinning trout angler should familiarize him or herself with.
Finally we have the time when you go fishing. Many spinning trout fishermen tend to think that anytime that they can get away is a good time to hit the water, and while this might be true in principle, in practice you need to take this fact a little more seriously. There are certain times of the day, week, and month when trout are the most active and as a trout fisherman you want to do your best to be on the water at these times. A little time invested on the best times to be on the water fishing will go a long way towards experiencing more success anytime that you are trout fishing.
