Trout fishing is one of the most popular types of fishing, and since trout are plentiful in so many areas, you don't have to go far to enjoy this sport. Yet fishing is more fun when you actually catch something and trout aren't always that easy to snare. The focus of this report is to give you some great ideas to make your fishing results more successful.
One of the first things you must realize is that the trout can see you - as well as your fishing gear. You send off vibrations, also, and this - for a trout - is the same thing as hearing you. Their sense of smell is also keen. If you habitually slap on a jolt of Old Spice before you head out fishing, think again!
Needless to say, it's wise to be as stealthy as possible when you get close to the old fishin' hole. Your clothing should resemble the colors you see in camouflage gear. In fact you can buy this type of clothing at a local military surplus store. You want fade into the background as much as possible. Vivid colored clothing, as well as white garments, should be avoided because they will catch the attention of the trout. Trout can detect smells, and certain odors, such as cigarettes produce on your hands, can keep them away. The main reason is due to the fact that these odors on your hands also change the bait from something that smells normal and good into something the trout determine isn't fit to eat. So wash your hands before handling any bait or lures. As you approach the fishing area, make as little noise as possible. A lot of fishers never consider night fishing for trout, although it can be very advantageous. There are dangers in fishing at night, of course. You should be especially careful if you haven't been in the area you have chosen before. Always carry reliable flashlights with you as well as a stock of fresh batteries. Of course, any lighting you bring must be kept as far from the stream or river you'll be fishing in as possible, or it may scare the fish away. If you want to make it easier to navigate the area in which you will be night fishing, check it out during the day. Needless to say, you should take a buddy or two with you if you plan to do any night fishing. Your success catching trout may increase at night as the trout become really active during the nighttime hours.
There are people who rather not eat trout and, indeed, this is their personal choice. Trout is not like those delicate, white fish you buy in the supermarket. Its taste is more flavorful, more "gamy", than other species of fish. Pan frying is a popular way to prepare trout. This is an easy way to cook your trout back in your camp over a campfire. It's always a good idea to check around the local area and find out if the water where you will be fishing - and subsequently the trout - are contaminated with toxins such as PCB. Think "safety first." You can also login online and check the Department of Health or Fish and Game websites. Most States have these online and they are invaluable storehouses of information.
There's so much more you can learn about trout fishing if you just look around. This report has just barely given you a head start on successful trout fishing. Nevertheless, the tips in this article have given you enough information to make a good start. After each trip, try to analyze what went right and what could be improved upon for the next trip. Keep a fishing diary to chart the variables of each trip - along with the results - and you will soon see a pattern emerge as to what's the best combination of time of day, equipment, bait or lures, and locations.
