Trout Fishing Tips 156

Change Your Line Frequently – Many trout fishermen neglect this simple trout fishing tip. As you know, light line is a must when fishing for trout. Well, light line tends to kink, coil, and fray easily and needs to be changed often. “Fresh” fishing line performs so much better than used line. My rule of thumb is to change my fishing line monthly during normal fishing conditions and more often if I’m fishing a lot. Losing a big trout due to heavily used line (which has happened to me) is a mistake that should be avoided.
When fishing for trout and using bait (which is a great idea by the way) you want to present your bait in the most natural way possible. Remember, large trout get that way for a reason. They have been caught before, and have seen almost anything that you throw at them before. For this reason you want your bait to look a much like it does naturally as possible. Gang hooks are the best way I’ve seen to accomplish this task, especially if worms are being used as bait.
