trout fishing info needed

[The Dad Fisherman]

For lures i like Rooster-Tails in either Flo Orange or Chartruese (1/12 oz. size) or a real Small Gold Kastmaster.

If your going with bait get some dilly worms (trout worms) and put them on a small Salmon egg hook then let them drift with the current.

I like where the Water pools in streams for fishing trout or the Stocked ponds.

If you go the Stocked Pond route same lures apply, or get some power bait in the Same colors. Then use a small treble and tie a Sliding Sinker Rig. This is where you put a hook on a leader and then tie the leader to a swivel. Then before you tie it to the line put on an egg sinker and a Glass bead (you don't really need the bead but that's the way a lot of peole do it). That way the fish doesn't feel the resistance of the weight. Cast it out, bring in some slack, and let it sit. or if you want get some of those dilly worms and a worm inflator (looks like a nose spray bottle with a needle attached), put a little air in the worm so it floats instead of laying on the bottom and use the same rig.

That should get you something.....hopefully

Those are all good lures. If it is a small river, watch junior with the spoons or he'll be in the trees on the other bank. One killer lure is a floating rapala, silver/black back. It is awesome in a little current, usually casting it quartering upstream, alot of hits on the swing, as it stops going downstream and heads back up to you. Also if the floater gets snagged (rocky bottom) you can usually give it slack and it will float out. You can also float it down to an otherwise unfishable tangle (say in a real small stream) then flip the bail and just let it wiggle in the current, working it around a little bit with the rod without reeling, even making it work under an undercut bank. But do hold on that rod when you do! And you might want to bend down the barbs on those trebles.

thanks scotty, funny you mention about casting to the other side bank. i took a walk last week down to the river we are going to and the amount of bobbers stuck in branches across the stream was pretty funny, i think i counted 10 stuck in branches.

you should get a small ultralight combo with 4 or 6lb test line,i like a rod about 6ft.i like little clown colored kastmasters and roostertails. chartruse power or garden worms with some split shot above them works well.make sure to keep swivles black and small.
