Simple Simple Trout Fishing




Here's a really simple way... to catch stream trout using your spinning rod.

If you have ever wanted to fish for trout in a stream but are frustrated by the thought of equipping, learning, and mastering fly casting, here is an alternative. You can be on a stream, fishing and catching trout with a minimum of expense and frustration.

All trout respond to salmon eggs used for bait.

This method of fishing salmon eggs is simple, deadly, and does not kill the trout. Almost all the trout hooked will be caught in the mouth, just like fishing with the fly.

The few components can be purchased at any fishing supply stop, even at a fly fishing shop.

Your shopping list of items to start is very short. The heart of the method is to use a very small float as a strike indicator to float the salmon eggs naturally in the current of the stream.

The small Styrofoam floats used as strike indicators for fly fishing nymphs are ideal. Purchase a few floats that are 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch in diameter. The purpose of the float is to indicate when a trout takes the salmon egg.

Beneath the float about 12 inches attach a very sharp hook.

The first choice in hooks are the extremely sharp Gamatszu hook in size eight. If these are not available, Owner hooks are just as good.

A distant third choice is the Eagle Claw Laser sharp brand of hooks.

You may need some very small split shot weights if the line on your spinning reel is larger than six pound test.

If you need to add weight to the rig to cast it, place one very small, 1/8 inch, split shot directly below the float.

This will provide a little casting weight without killing the natural action of the salmon egg.

Salmon eggs are the first choice for bait.

The bright red processed salmon eggs are found almost every where fishing supplies are sold in trout country. The Green Label Patzutkes brand are a favorite. These are usually less than 1/4 inch in diameter. Place two or three of these salmon eggs on the hook. It is not necessary to cover the entire length of the size 8 hook.

The casting style is a "flip" of the bait into the water.

Merely swing the bait with the bail open on your spinning reel or button held down on the spin cast reel. Control the line with your hand that does not hole the rod. This is exactly the same technique that bass fishermen call "flipping". The casting distance is only a few feet at best.

Flip the float into the head of an eddy or just behind a rock. Let the float be carried down stream until the current straightens out your line and the salmon egg is forced to the top of the water.

The strike is very subtle.

When a trout takes a salmon egg, the float will quickly dip under the water. This "dip" will happen quickly and then the float will surface and continue downstream as normal.

Set the hook as soon as you see the "dip". A lot of the time you will have a trout hooked in the lip or the corner of the mouth. The trout can be returned unharmed to the water if you are practicing catch and release.

At first, you may set the hook and simply pull the float and hook away with nothing. This is very common until you develop the "feel" for striking quickly. Set the hook at every indication of a "dip" and you will be surprised at how many trout you will hook.

This method can be used with a fly.

If you are fishing in a restricted "fly and lure only" water, replace the salmon eggs with a size 14 or 16 dark colored nymph fly. The same technique is used to present the fly but the strike of the trout will be even slighter and quicker. You will have a lot more misses as the trout take and reject the fly very quickly.

The salmon egg makes them hold on a bit longer so that you have time to react.

------------------------------------------------------------

This method can produce a lot of trout for very little outlay of cash and time.

You will be amazed at the number of trout you can hook standing in one spot. If you fish quietly, a good feeding run will produce several trout.

Practice conservation please. Don't use this method to kill a lot of trout. Take a few for dinner if you so desire but only what you can consume.

Bass Bass Fishing



I trust that the next article will help you to better empathize this topic.

Is there anything in the world as restful as spending a day fishing? Likely not, or not so that I can think of anyway. Fishing for me is the best sport in the world, and the best of all the dissimilar types of fishing types available just happens to be, in my humiliate spirit anyway, sea bass fishing, or bassin as it is also lovingly referred to!

Whatever you call it, theres no denying that sea bass fishing, as well being a restful pursuit, is also an stimulating one. It requires that you put your thought caps on, and at the same time, you need to be able to take it at ease and lay in wait for the fish to bite.

Its a characteristic of many contradictions, as you would no doubt have guessed, but one thing is guaranteed, if youve never tried Bass fishing before, you will either take to it like a fish to water (!), or you will look on it with loathing and distaste. Its a love-it or hate-it kind of thing.

That said, there are many sides to Bass fishing which you might not to the full value if you are only just beginning the Bass fishing game. However, there is no denying that for perpendicularly excitement and suspense, theres nothing like getting a largemouthed bass on the end of your line, and waiting to see who will come out the winner, you or the largemouth!

Which brings us to one point that you will want to look at while you are Bass fishing, and that is whether you want to be a largemouth Bass fisherman, or a smallmouth sea bass fisherman, or a striped Bass fisherman, or you get the drift, right? Theres nothing to say that you will need to be one or the other exclusively, but most Bass Fisher have their favourite types of Bass which they like to see on the end of their line.

As a Bass fisherman, you also have the dissimilar types of freshwater bass fishing itself to take from, like for example Surf casting, Fly fishing, stream fishing, or fishing from a boat.

There is no one particular method which is preferable by Bass fishermen when you go by of the boat-fishing. Bass part fishing in a boat seems to be the preferable method for most good Bass fisherman, and if you think you might delight it and want to try it out, there are freshwater bass fishing parties which you can bring together to test drive and see if you like fishing from a boat.. to learn more on this subject, please check our web site by following our link below...

Use Use Gps Mapping For The Ultimate Fishing



GPS or Global Positioning System is a sophisticated technology that accurately locates your position anywhere on earth. Especially helpful in navigation, this system works everywhere - 24 hours a day, free of cost. GPS data is collected by 24 satellites located about 11,000 miles above the earths surface. A GPS receiver can pinpoint any location on earth with the help of data transmitted by the satellites.

GPS and fishing

Navigational activities like fishing requires accurate positioning on water bodies, such as seas and oceans. It is beneficies to a great extent from the GPS technology, to be precise, from the superior devices that employ the GPS technology for routing anglers to their desired locations. These devices come with GPS receivers in them, and can gather the positioning data from the satellites, and inform you about your current location, as well as the destination. The rising curve of the GPS technology is making its presence felt in portable GPS receivers, which feature amazing accuracy and have become quite inexpensive.

Handheld GPS fishing devices

GPS fishing devices use GPS for auto routing facilities in the water to help anglers select the shortest and fastest route. Sometimes turn-by-turn directions are also provided along with the estimated time for reaching the fishing destinations. In case you made a wrong turn the device warns you with a beep; the visual LED display help in nighttime use. Resistant to water, these handheld GPS fishing devices are equipped with flash memory for downloading data from the MapSource. The device offers an inbuilt receiver to catch satellite updates, which are renewed in extremely short intervals.

While choosing a handheld GPS unit for yourself consider the variety of ways in which you might put it into use. Apart from fishing, you should also be able to use it during hiking, bicycling and traveling. It can also point out important locations, such as gas stations and supermarkets on road trips. Ensure that your handheld GPS device provides good mapping quality in the fishing expeditions.

GPS navigation system

GPS navigation system works on the Ethernet based network, which connects a number of marine components especially helpful in locating your accurate position, charting your course, providing weather updates while you are on a fishing trip. This plug-and-play system is resistant to water. It also features multifunctional displays, which can detect the addition of peripherals like GPS antenna and sensors. Some devices can be connected with a number of display units and sensors to the same network.

Quite a number of attractive accessories are available for the safekeeping of these GPS devices. If you are a fishing freak get your own GPS system immediately and watch how your fishing experience becomes a pleasant and hassle free pastime.
