As trout anglers, this is what most of us are looking for right? How to catch more and bigger trout? Well, in this article I'm going to reveal some proven tips and techniques to help you do just that. These tips have been proven through more than fifty years of combined trout fishing experience, and were first taught to me more than twenty years ago by a man who I've always considered a "trout fishing master". This man has since moved on to another plane of existence, but his ideas live on, and will now help you catch more and bigger trout.
Let's begin with your hands. How much attention do you pay to your hands, or more specifically the scents that are on your hands? When fishing for trout your hands are worth paying attention to. You want to make sure that your hands are free of any unnatural odors, because these scents will transfer to your bait and cost you bites. A great tip is to grab a handful of grass or dirt before baiting up and rubbing it into your hands. This will eliminate any unnatural odors, such as gasoline or nicotine that might be on your hands.
How about the presentation of your bait? When trout fishing (especially for larger or more experienced trout) having your bait appear as natural as possible is very important. This is where gang hooks come into play. Gang hooks enable live bait (especially live worms) in a totally realistic and natural manner. With gang hooks, you'll never again be using a "worm ball" for bait. This makes a big difference, especially when it comes to larger, more experienced trout. When live bait is rigged on a set of #8 or #10 gang hooks and allowed to flow naturally with the current, the results can be deadly (for the trout that is).
If you want to catch more and bigger trout the next thing to do is make sure that you're on the water when the trout are the most active (http://www.jrwfishing.com/signup.html). How is this accomplished? Simply by paying attention to the weather and moon, and planning your fishing trips accordingly. The weather and moon hold a key to catching more and bigger trout.
Lastly, if you want to catch more and bigger trout there is no substitute for spending time on the water. This sounds simple, but it's nonetheless true. It also a great idea to learn new tips and techniques (http://stores.lulu.com/jrwfishing), but there is no substitute for spending time on the water practicing your craft. That's a good thing though, for those of us who would just as soon be on the water anyway, right?
