River Trout Fishing – 3 Essential Tips To Help You Catch More Trout While River Fishing

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 06:49:30 -0500

There are two major places that trout can be found; rivers and lakes. To me the only real place to fish for and catch trout are rivers, and not only rivers but in rivers while wading. Sure, trout are caught from lakes all the time, but for me there is simply nothing like river trout fishing. The interesting thing about this is that I am not a fly fisherman. Many people automatically think of fly fishing when they think of river trout fishing, but I am an ultra light spin fisherman and have never engaged in the act of "flea flicking" (as my fishing mentor used to call fly fishing).

TROUT FISHING IN THE CATSKILLS

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:41:43 -0400

TROUT FISHING IN THE CATSKILLS
By Ed Van Put

Trout fishermen are disposed to accepting hardship and travel in pursuit of their sport, and with the completion of the turnpikes parties of anglers journeyed deeper into the Catskills. Another early destination of trout fishermen was the inn of Milo Barber, which was located near the Esopus Creek where it is joined by Stony Clove Creek at Phoenicia in Ulster County. Barber purchased ninety acres in 1812, and while he farmed the land he also operated a small store on the road along the Stony Clove and boarded trout fishermen as early as 1826. Upon the death of Milo Barber his son, Milo Barber Jr., continued to take in boarders and guide trout fishermen for many years.

Cold Weather Trout Fishing Tips

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 10:20:10 -0500

As the new year approaches and the weather continues to get colder, I figured it was time to write an article on cold weather trout fishing tips. I'm not necessarily referring to ice fishing, yet some of these tips can be used for ice fishermen as well. These tips are for those of us who still enjoy getting out on our favorite river or stream to do a little trout fishing, even when the weather is quite cold.

The first thing to keep in mind (if you didn't already know), is that cold weather trout fishing offers some unique challenges, not the least of which is the fact that the cold weather can be quite uncomfortable. Besides being uncomfortable, cold weather trout fishing means the fishing will normally be much tougher. When the temperature drops, so does the water temperature, and as the water temperature drops, so does the trout's body temperature. As trout become colder and colder, their metabolism slows down, which means they feed less.

Obviously when trout are feeding less, they are more difficult to catch. In colder weather and water temperatures, a great tip is to use bait that’s as small as you can. If you ice fish, you know all about using tiny baits, well the same goes for trout fishing in river and stream situations. Use hooks, baits, and lures that are as small as you can get away with in cold weather trout fishing situations. This tip will help you get more bites.

The same principle goes for any live bait that you might be using. Cold weather is a great time of year to use maggots and meal worms as trout bait, and if you like to use night crawlers, simply use smaller pieces. For example, a whole night crawler can be pinched into thirds or even quarters in cold weather trout fishing situations.

When the weather and water temperature are cold, fishing when the trout are the most active is very important. There are certain times of the day and month when fish are more active than others , and knowing this information is highly useful when the weather is cold and the trout aren't as active anyway. These times of the day and month correlate with the weather and phases of the moon. Planning your fishing trips around the weather and moon is a great idea, especially in cold weather.

The final tip for cold weather trout fishing is the fact that we need to keep our hands as warm as possible while fishing. Not only do our hands need to be warm, but if you're like me you still need the use of you fingers to fish properly. This is where a quality and comfortable pair of fingerless gloves come into play. I can tell you from experience that being on the river and feeling like your hand is going to fall off, because that hand got wet releasing a freezing cold trout, is no fun at all.

Great Rainbow Trout Technique

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:56:20 -0400

Rainbow Trout are a ton of fun to catch. Especially when you employ light line and it's early in the year. I'm not sure if it's because the water is colder is colder early in the year or because the winter fast just has them hungry, but catching rainbow trout early in the season, while using light line and ultra light gear, is as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. Although there are many ways to catch Rainbow Trout, the most effective I've ever found is the one I will explain in this article.

Ultra Light Fishing For Trout

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 09:52:35 -0400

If you fish for trout and don't employ ultra light fishing gear and bait, you should. There's really no other way to put it. Employing ultra light gear involves a few things that I'll discuss in this article. The first and most important aspect, in my opinion, is the size of your fishing line. In my opinion, in order to truly be ultra light fishing for trout, four pound test needs to be used. In other words, an ultra light rod and reel, spooled with 4 pound test is absolutely perfect for trout fishing.

Montana Trout Fishing

Mon, 14 May 2007 14:40:29 -0400

In many ways the term 'trout fishing' and the state of Montana are automatically thought of together. I don't know if it's because of a certain movie or what, but the state of Montana and trout fishing fit together like a hand and a glove. When many people think of trout fishing in Montana, they automatically think of fly fishing, or flea flicking as my mentor used to refer to it. There is a heavy contingent of anglers who enjoy waving feathers in the air in Montana, but remember: there's more than one way to skin a cat, and for me personally the only time I get anywhere near a feather is at the local duck pond. I wouldn't 'flick a flea' if you put a gun to my head, and still I mange to catch a lot of trout. That's right everyone, trout fishing in Montana, doesn't have to involve a fly rod!

As a matter of fact, Pennsylvania is where I learned how to fish for trout. I've since followed the fish that I fell in love with while living in PA to the trout fishing state of Montana. My fishing mentor taught me many of the techniques that are going to be discussed in this article on the banks of rivers and streams in the great state of Pennsylvania.

Catching Trout In Spring

Catching trout in the spring can be a fairly difficult thing to do, especially in river and streams. Catching trout in lakes is pretty much the same at all times of year, but in rivers and streams it can be a bit more difficult. The high water that spring and early summer bring can make catching trout difficult. There are a few things to keep in mind that will make your trout fishing more successful during the spring and early summer.

Catching Trophy Trout

Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:37:33 -0400

What's more fun than catching a trophy fish? Not much, then you add the fact that trophy trout can be caught in rivers that no one would expect them to come out of, and catching them becomes that much more exciting. My mentor taught me some of his techniques more than 15 years ago, and they work great for catching trophy trout. This man (my mentor) had more trophy trout mounted than any human being that I've ever seen. And almost all of his trophies (over 22 inches) were caught in rivers that no one could believe fish that size came out of. These were rivers that got a lot of fishing pressure and trout fourteen inches and under were considered "normal". But my mentor caught trophy trout out of these rivers and did so consistently.
