Trout Fishing Lure and Bait Information
from: Maxx Sports GuidesIf you're going trout fishing, you must learn all you can about the types of lures and bait you can use to catch trout as well as how to use them properly. Most fishermen feel they have a good idea about what makes good trout bait and which are the best methods.
However, you should know all of options since, when it comes to trout, you never know exactly what they're going to like until you try. This list of trout fishing lures and bait should help you prepare for your next trout fishing trip.
First, you're going to need a rod and reel. Some people prefer to catch trout with fly rods, but many others prefer a rod and reel. If using a rod, please consider:
* A light rod of 4 - 5 feet long
* A light duty spinning reel or spin casting reel
* 4-6 pound test line
* #10 - #14 bronze hooks
* a few small split shot
* small knife and other accessories
Types of Lures
There are many different types of fishing lures used used in trout fishing. Some trout fisherman swear by a particular type, size or style of lure while another will live by another. It usually comes down to learning all you can about the types and having several of your favorites with you at all times so you can try them on the trout. Spinners, jigs and other minnow imitators are good trout lures. Any color or style typically works, but some good ones to start with are Gold-Browns, Silver-Rainbows, and Copper-Brookies.
Types of Bait
There are many different types of bait and trout tend to be picky and unpredictable when it comes to the type of bait they are attracted to. The same trout may love one type of bait one day and hate it the next, so it's really difficult to know for sure. You can ask other people who are trout fishing in the area and get an idea what the fish are biting on that particular day, but your best bet is to be prepared with several different types of bait. If one doesn't seem to be working, simply switch to another.
Nightcrawler worms are some of the best worms for live bait trout fishing. They're easy to get, the trout usually like them, they're good weight and easy to use. Hellgramites and water worms are also popular. Many regular worms are too small and harder to cast. Small minnows sometimes work well depending on the season and the type of trout.
