Are you interested in catching more trout? You must be, seeing as how you're reading this article, so I'm going to take a couple of minutes and list 3 tip[s that will help almost anyone catch more trout. During my 25 or so years of trout fishing, I've learned a few things that have served me quite well in catching trout. These 3 tips are my three favorites, and will certainly help you answer the question of 'how do I catch more trout'.
Before I get to the tips themselves I want to begin this article by stating that there are no magic formulas when it comes to trout fishing (or any type of fishing for that matter). Nothing will help your ability to catch fish like spending time on the water practicing your craft. There is simply no substitute for practice, and the more little nuances you learn about your particular style of fishing, the better off you will be. With that being said, let's get down to business, shall we?
- Clean Your Hands - This might sound so simple that you think I'm nuts, but making sure that your hands are clean is very important to trout fishing. I don't mean clean like before you eat dinner, but rather clean as in free on any unnatural odors. Trout have a very sensitive sense of smell and can easily detect unnatural odors on their food. I bet you can guess what happens if the trout detect unnatural odors on your bait or lure? Yep, they are much less apt to bite it. The easiest way to make sure that your hands are clean is to rub them in a handful of grass or dirt before baiting up.
- Don't "Spook" The Area - This tip is mainly for those of you who fish in small rivers and streams for trout. You don't want to "spook" the trout because if you do, they are very hard to catch. A fishing area becomes spooked when the trout become aware of something "out of the ordinary". Things like making loud noises or splashes and casting your shadow on the area you're trying to fish will "spook" the trout. Pay attention to what you're doing and do your best not to "spook" your fishing area.
- Present Bait Naturally - When trout fishing it is extremely important to present your bait in the most natural way possible. The best way to accomplish this task is through the use of gang hooks. Gang hooks are simply a pair of small hooks tied back to back which enable bait to be presented in a totally natural manner. This is especially true when using live or synthetic worms for bait (which is great trout bait by the way). A worm rigged on a gang hook rig and allowed to flow naturally with the current of a river or stream is a deadly trout fishing tactic.
These 3 tips will help anyone catch more trout on their next trout fishing excursion. How am I so sure of this fact? Because I've been using every one of the above trout fishing tips with great success for more that twenty years and if they work for me, they will work for you. Put one or all of these tips into practice as soon as you get the chance.
