Trout Fishing With Live Bait - Tips That Will Help You Catch More Trout

One of the best baits to use for trout fishing is live bait and in this article I will online some tips that will help you catch more trout when using live bait. I know this subject is taboo to fly fishermen, but although our fly fishing brethren don't like to admit it, waving feathers back and forth in the air isn't the only way to catch trout. For many anglers (including myself) trout fishing with live bait is a more productive and enjoyable way to catch trout than "flicking fleas", as my mentor used to say.

Putting my personal views about fly fishing aside, these tips will make anyone a more productive trout angler when fishing with live bait. I was taught many years ago that true trout fishing occurs in the flowing waters of either a river or stream, and the best way to fish for trout effectively is by wading. Can trout be caught effectively in lakes and ponds? Of course, it's just that this particular article will focus on trout fishing with live bait in either a river or stream while wading.

The first thing that any angler using live bait needs to understand is that we want the focus of our offering to be the bait. This means that light line needs to be employed. What do I mean by the term 'light line'? I personally use four pound test monofilament when trout fishing withy live bait. Two pound test is a great choice, however tying knots in two pound test can be a challenge without the line breaking and six pound test is as heavy as almost any trout fisherman should ever use. The point is that light line is important when fishing with live bait.

The next thing to keep in mind when fishing for trout with live bait is how your bait is rigged and presented to the fish. First of all gang hooks should be employed (especially when live worms are used) and those hooks should be attached you your line using a barrel swivel. This is especially important in flowing water situations, where your bait will be tumbling along the bottom of a river or stream. Your line can easily become twisted (and thus weakened) in these situations and a barrel swivel will help prevent this from happening.

How about the bait itself? What is the best live trout bait? I would have to say because of availability, ease of use, and general "toughness" live worms would have to be among the best live trout baits. A great tips as far as live bait tips are concerned is to have an effective way to carry your worms while wading. This is where a worm carrier comes into play. A worm carrier hangs from your fishing vest and carrier your live worms while wading. This way baiting up and re-baiting takes seconds rather than minutes while you try to remember where you stuck your worms.

The bottom line is that when it comes to trout fishing with live bait these simple tips will help you catch more trout. Give them a try on your next trout fishing excursion and find out for yourself.
