How To Catch Trout
By Trevor Kugler
Do you know how to catch a trout? If not or if you're always looking for more information of catching trout, this article will help you. In this article I'm going so explain some simple and easy ways to catch a trout. In most cases, fishing is simple and easy and we as anglers over think everything and make fishing much more complicated than it actually has to be. Take catching a trout as an example. Flea flickers make their form of trout fishing out to be so much more than it actually is. Waving a feather back and forth in an attempt to entice a fish to bite isn't that complicated, but they make their form of fishing and catching trout out to be more involved than the painting of the ceiling at the Sistine chapel. It doesn't have to be this way.
Catching a trout is actually quite simple, as long as you don't over think it. The first thing that we need to do is stop doing stupid things like fishing with "worm balls". What's a "worm ball"? A "worm ball" is created when an angler takes a large hook and hooks a live worm over and over again, with the intention of using it for bait. This works for children, but as we grow up, our fishing techniques need to grow up as well. Do trout and other fish bite "worm balls"? Sure small one do. But if you want to catch larger and more "experienced" fish along with small fish that don't know any better, then you need to update your techniques.
The best technique for catching a trout is to use a set of gang hooks. A set of gang hooks is simply two small hooks tied in tandem. That's pretty simple, right? What a set of gang hooks allows you to do is present a worm in a completely natural manner. When a worm is presented in a completely natural manner, you get more bites, and in turn catch more fish; it's as simple as that. This is true if you're fishing in a lake or in flowing water. In a lake fish a worm as you normally would, but with a set of gang hooks it now looks completely natural. In the flowing water of a river or stream, you simply want to bounce your worm off of the bottom as it flows downstream.
Another great technique for catching a trout is using a set of pre-tied gang hooks to present Powerbait or similar synthetic bait. You see, synthetic bait floats, so by rigging synthetic bait on a set of gang hooks, not only are you doubling your chances of a bite by presenting twice as much bait, but this bait is also floating off of the bottom above any underwater debris. This is a great way to catch a trout. Still fishing in a lake using gang hooks and synthetic bait is one of the best ways to catch a trout. With these two tips: still fishing with synthetic bait and bouncing a live worm off of the bottom in a river or stream, you should be well on your way to catching not just one, but many trout. Simply get some gang hooks and your good to go.
