Fishing Tip (Finding Fish – Trout) – Fly Fishing Trout Shelters

If you aren’t getting any bites on the river try this: look for white and tumbling water for dark surface areas. Trout like to hide in these helters. They like to hang out in these spots because food is washed into them and the fish can rest without battling the current all the time.

Use the shoreline because you have to get in close. You also have to find out how to avoid detection by the fish. Float a dry fly or manipulate a spinner in a manner intended for these lures — a feat that is almost impossible when fishing with long lines and fast water.

Anytime a trout ignores flies floated over, try dangling one from the side of a rock.

The fly has the advantage of being free from conflicting currents, and also touches the water lightly for brief intervals. It has the look of a natural insect and is deadly to the fly fishing trout.

Fishing Tip (Trout Tips) – Selecting Fishing Lures

You can tell where trout are by carefully watching the disturbance in the water. If you are even more observant, you can tell if they are taking surface bugs, or submersed bait. When trout are taking in floating insects, it slurps it with an audible “plop”, usually leaving bubbles. If this is happening use appropriate dry flies to match the feeding. If the trout are feeding below the surface you can tell by a bulging of the water’s surface. You’ll be able to see the dorsal fin break the water.

Usually these trout strike an emerger pattern a few inches under the surface.

Fishing Tip (Trout Fishing Tips) – Spook Fishing

Streams that clear up after winter will leave trout easily spooked and hard to catch. No problem. In the warmer months they will pool up in deep water. Walk up and spook them by letting your shadow fall. They will run off for protection (usually to undercut banks).
Move off 10 to 20 feet (you should not be able to see the pools surface). Keep a low profile and cast just to the water’s edge letting the fly flop over the bank and into the water. Strikes are felt, not seen.

Fishing Tips (Trout Fishing Tips) – Baiting up Marshmallows

To simplify the process of baiting up marshmallows, attach a tiny sewing needle to the loop end of your leader. To bait up, just run the needle through the marshmallow, slowly drawing it and the leader through until the bait completely covers the hook. It’s best to wet the leader beforehand to prevent marshmallow residue from building on the line.

Fishing Tip (Fly Fishing for Trouts Tips) – How To Fish Spring Streams

Fishing spring creeks isn’t easy. Don’t expect large quantities of catches, but do expect a challenging experience which has a certain mystique about it. Catching just a few trout, will give you a feeling of ccomplishment.
Spinfishing is illegal on most spring creeks, but you can use a variety of flyfishing methods such as sight casting to “rooters” burrowing in aquatic plants for scuds, nymphs and sow bugs. You can slap out chunky streamers to tease big fish from deep, dark pools. You can fish terrestrials during no-hatch periods, or you can wait patiently for mayfly emergences, when trout rise furiously all around you.
Delicate presentations are important, so keep your tackle light. Use an eight to nine foot rod taking a No. 4 to 6 weight-forward or double-taper floating line, plus an eight to 14 foot knotless leader tapering to a 4X to 7X tippet is perfect.

Keep in mind that your casting positions can be critical in determining whether your fly is snatched up boldly or ignored on spring creeks. Try different deliveries from several different locations to find which is best. Try quartering upstream across a downstream casts until you get just eh right float to fool a particularly dif ficult trout.

Know what stage of insect the trout are consuming. This can vary from fish to fish and from minute to minute as the hatch progresses. When the first mayflies appear, most trout feed on the emerging insects drifting in the surface film as they struggle to free themselves from their nymphal skins. Always carry a good supply of emerger imitations when fishing a spring creek hatch.
