Trout Fishing Tips For Beginners

By Trevor Kugler

I see a lot of information out there for seasoned trout anglers, but there is very little information about trout fishing for beginners. In this article I'm going to provide a few tips and techniques that will help the beginning trout angler experience more trout fishing success. By using these simple tips and techniques you will be well on your way to being a very productive trout angler.

Most of these tips are best used while wading in your favorite trout river or stream. As a matter of fact as a beginning trout angler you realize that rivers and streams are the best places to begin your trout fishing "career". Sure, you can fish for and catch trout out of ponds and lakes, but these trout are almost always stocked by fish and game departments and are shells of their 'native' cousins. As a matter of fact, to me, stocked trout are almost not trout at all. They are a man-made replica of this beautiful creature.

My personal views aside, the bottom line is that these trout fishing tips for beginners will make anyone more successful. They will help you get of on the right foot. So, what do you say we get down to business?

Wear Drab Clothing - The water that trout live in is almost always cold and clear and these fish are very aware of their surroundings. For this reason you don't want to wear any clothing that makes you stand out. If the trout you're trying to catch recognize anything out of the ordinary they will tend not to bite. This is especially true with larger more experienced trout. The bottom line is to not wear or do anything that will make you "stand out".
Be Organized - As a beginning trout angler, especially when fishing in rivers and streams, you want to be as organized as possible. This means wearing a fishing vest for carrying all of your fishing gear and tackle. Fishing vests are usually thought of for fly fishing, but they can be used by spin fishermen as well. Fishing vests have a ton of pockets for all of your trout fishing gear, and everything is hanging on your body for easy access on the water. Things like retractors and bait bags can be added for even more convenience. By being organized you can spend more time with your line in the water (where the trout are) rather than out of the water searching for gear, lures, and or bait.
Use Live Worms & Gang Hooks - One of the best baits in the world for trout is live worms, and when it comes to live worms gang hooks are a must. Gang hooks are the best way to present live worms in a natural manner. You see, a set of Pre-Tied Gang Hooks enables a live worm to be presented in an outstretched and completely natural manner. When it comes to trout fishing, especially for beginners, this tip is one of the best. This tip will most certainly get you off on the right foot.
As I've said, these tips will make you a much more productive trout angler. There is also no substitute for spending time on the water practicing your craft. The more time you can spend on the water trout fishing the better, and before you know it you'll be an expert trout angler rather than a beginner.
