Number 1. Always use ultra light fishing gear if you are fishing for trout. Too many times, anglers attempt to use medium-action gear when at the stream trying to snag trout. It's a big mistake and won't allow you to catch fish. Instead, you have to use an ultra light rod and reel and the lightest fishing line possible.
Personally, I've found that four-pound test mono filament line works best when fishing for trout. Using light line and gear are paramount for trout fishing, especially if you're fishing small rivers and streams.
Number 2. Be aware of your shadow; you need to avoid casting a shadow on the area you will be fishing when fishing small rivers and streams. Casting a shadow is a sure-fired way to scare away the larger, older trout from the area. If you want to catch trout, you must be aware of your shadow.
Number 3. I have never found an artificial bait or lure that is more effective than a a plain old live worm when it comes to catching trout. For me, a live worm simply riding the current in a small river or stream will attract trout more often than not if they are around. The best way to rig a live worm for trout fishing is to use a set of ganged hooks. Ganged hooks and live worms as bait is the perfect combination for trout fishing.
Number 4. Other than worms, small spinners, in the 3-7/16 range, are another great bait for catching trout. While effective in many trout fishing situations, the small spinners are perfect for fishing rivers and streams. Practice popping your rod tip while allowing the spinner to flow with the current can be especially effective. Using dark colors such as black or brown with gold blades can prove irresistible to trout. Be sure to attach your spinner to your line with a small barrel swivel for best results. Not only will it stop your line from twisting, but it will also make sure that your spinner works properly.
You should find that using any or all of these tricks of the trade will make you a much better trout angler. There you have it. Just put these tips into practice, as the sooner you do, the sooner you will be proudly displaying your catch.
