Trout Fishing Tips

Congratulations, you’ve managed to cast out your fly and have tricked a trout into taking your fly. One of my top trout fishing tips: You should be watching the water at all times for sudden swirls or a flash of silver. You should particularly watch your line since if you can see it suddenly going straight you’ve got a bite. If you wait until this movement reaches your rod tip, that short span of time could be the difference that is needed for that fish to escape.

I remember my first bite when I just a beginner. I was shocked by how violently the fish took the line and started to pull at my rod. The most important step is to quickly and strongly lift the rod up so the rod is at about 11 o’clock on a clock face. This will set the hook in the fish’s mouth. So your fish is hooked now what?  You should try to keep the rod up throughout the whole fight since this will keep tension in the line and so tension on the hook.

If the fish is on a ‘run’ where it is constantly taking line just let it do so! If you try to stop it there is a good chance you will snap your line. The clutch on your reel should be exerting some pressure on the fish to slow it down and tire it out.

When the fish has stopped running draw some of the line back to keep the pressure up. If the fish starts to dart of in one direction you can control it by moving the rod in the opposite direction. Place your net in the water with the handle near to you. As you guide the fish to the net crouch down so it cannot see and so the fish doesn’t panic. When unhooking the fish wet your hands since your dry fingers can take the protective layer of mucus off the fish’s skin. If you are going to kill the fish do it quickly. You should have an item called a ‘priest’ to dispatch the fish. Hit it hard and quickly over head in between its eyes. You can check that the fish is dispatched since its gills should not be moving.
