Are you a trout fisherman? If so, I'm sure that you're always looking for tips and tricks that will help you catch more trout, right? Well, more than 20 years ago I had the pleasure of fishing with the best trout angler I've ever known, and during our time fishing together he taught me many trout fishing secrets. In this article, I'm going to reveal 3 keys that he taught me.
How do I know these 3 keys will result in trout fishing success? Because I've been using all of them for years, and know from experience that they work. The bottom line is that these 3 keys to trout fishing success work, and will have an impact on the number and size of trout that you catch. Steven Wright said of all of us who fish, "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot". I think no truer words have ever been spoken, and these tips will help you avoid the 'looking like an idiot' part of that quote.
- Pay Attention To Your Hands - Trout have a very sensitive sense of smell and can detect foreign odors on what they are about to eat. If they detect an unnatural odor, they are much less apt to bite. This means if you have unnatural scents on your hands (such as gasoline or the stink of cigarettes) that scent will transfer to whatever bait you happen to be using, and the trout are much less apt to bite. A good practice is to rub your hands in a handful of grass or dirt before baiting up. This will ensure that there are no unnatural odors on your hands that will cost you bites.
- Be Fishing When The Trout Are Active - How are you supposed to know when the trout are the most active? Simple. Pay attention to the weather and moon. That's right, there are no two factors that affect trout fishing a much as the weather and moon. Being on the water during certain moon phases will automatically increase the amount of bites you get. This may sound crazy , but it's true. Educating yourself about the weather, moon, and fishing will pay huge dividends in your trout fishing success.
- Use Gang Hooks - The bottom line is that if you want to catch more trout, gang hooks will help your catch rates dramatically. You see a a set of pre-tied gang hooks is the only way to rig a worm in a natural and outstretched manner, which makes a huge difference as far as bites are concerned. Doesn't it just make sense that a live worm that looks like a live worm will be more effective than a live worm that looks like some sort of "worm ball"? Of course it does. If you want to catch more trout, or fish in general, and use live worms as bait, then give gang hooks a shot. You'll be glad you did.
Begin using one or all of these 3 keys to trout fishing success and see what happens? You'll be amazed that you ever tried to catch a trout without employing these three tips. As I said, they were taught to me a long time ago, and I use them because they are effective. If you start using them, these three tips will be equally as effective for you.
