Top 10 lures for catching river trout

Pros and cons of a paid reservoir

In order not to travel far away for a worthy trophy, it’s easier to go to a paid pond; here you can do just as good fishing. Such reservoirs have their negative and positive sides.

close location to home

comfort and convenience

fishing possible all year round

trout are less timid on paid platforms

fishing is paid

premature termination of fishing does not always guarantee a refund

on a paid pond, most often the fish caught for cooking will also have to be bought back

Otherwise, fishing will bring only positive emotions; a catch is almost always guaranteed.

The fisherman should first study the rules established on this particular body of water, and then go on to his favorite hobby.

Permitted and prohibited trout fishing gear

Any paid pond is equipped for the comfort of fishermen, but the established rules should not be violated. Most in the price list indicate all the subtleties and nuances that you should familiarize yourself with in advance.

Among other things, prohibitions usually include the use

networks

electric fishing rods

saddles

traps

forts

Poaching equipment is prohibited here just like everywhere else. It is better not to take risks and carry out fishing in accordance with the established regulations.

Permitted trout fishing gear includes:

Float rod

Feeder tackle

Spinning

Bottom tackle, including elastic.

Fly fishing is also not prohibited, but only specialists use it.

For trout with bombarda or sbirulino

The main disadvantage of miniature baits is the short cast. The thinnest cords increase the flight range, but reduce the safety margin. The power reserve of the set is necessary when fishing for trout, because the fish grows to a decent size, not to mention its fighting qualities.

Bombarda solves the problem by providing the ability to use even weightless bait, such as flies. The design allows you to set the depth of the equipment and cast it over long distances. In this way, you can fish not only the coastal zone. Wobblers for brown trout (an anadromous species of trout) are also used with sbirulino. The float performs well in a strong stream. The bombarda does not alarm the predator, since the length of the leash prevents it from noticing the float.

Choosing a catchable place

Trout is grown in reservoirs under conditions as close as possible to natural conditions; this fish cannot live and develop normally everywhere. The most suitable bodies of water should have the following characteristics:

1. The relief is flat, without sharp changes in depth and anomalous areas.
2. Vegetation in the reservoir should be moderate.
3. The bottom is relatively clean; there may be isolated boulders, snags, and other obstacles.

It is under these conditions that the trout will be able to actively collect the food offered to it and quickly grow to the desired size. Fish are classified as predators; they still need shelter.

Criteria for choosing a promising place for fishing

The success of trout fishing depends on many factors, including:

• weather;
• food base
• season

But the most important thing is to choose a promising place from which to fish. With a successful combination of circumstances, even in non-trout weather and an abundant food supply, you can spot and catch a real trophy on a platform without any problems.

• the presence of local pits and grooves is welcome
• good places will be near the protrusions and tubercles on the bottom
• The fisherman should sit down near a flooded clearing
• priority is given to stones, snags and other shelters
• You should not bypass the branches of coastal vegetation overhanging the water

Anglers have noticed that trout often choose bridges specially installed for fishing for their shelter. Therefore, you should behave as quietly as possible; fish can often be caught right from under your feet.

Ask a Question

You shouldn’t look for trout in completely flat and empty areas; it’s unlikely to stand here. Even with an abundant food supply, the fish simply will not be interested in the offered baits.

Indicators of the presence of fish in the selected area of ​​the reservoir

You can determine that the trout is exactly in the chosen fishing spot using several indicators:

• the head often appears from the water after each strike of the bait on the water;
• splashes occur periodically, trout jump out for insects or bait.

It often happens that the trophy is not noticeable at all, but with a correctly chosen and proposed bait, an attack and hooking immediately occurs, and it is possible to hook several fish at once.

Where to look for trout depending on the time of year

The activity of trout in the natural environment varies depending on the time of year, and fish will behave the same way when reared artificially. It is worth understanding that it will not be possible to fish in the same place in spring and summer on a paid platform.

Spring

Immediately after freezing, while the water has not yet warmed up very much, trout will actively scour the entire reservoir in search of food. It will definitely not stand in one place, even if the food supply in the water area is at the highest level. You will have to look for trout everywhere, depending on the gear used, it is better to fish the surface where the trout will go out to bask in the sun and catch insects that have fallen into the water.

When the temperature rises, trout go in search of food in shaded places ; they can stand under the branches of vegetation hanging over the water, in snags , behind boulders at the bottom of the reservoir.

Summer

This time of year is least suitable for trout fishing; warm water will make the predator minimally active . The fish can stand in a visible place, but at the same time not react at all to the bait offered to it.

Fishing for trout on paid platforms during this period will bring success in rainy weather and with a significant decrease in temperature during the daytime.

You need to look for it in holes, in places where water is supplied to the reservoir , special attention should be paid to areas with moderate currents.

Autumn

This period is considered the rainbow season, during which time you can catch a real trophy without much effort. Gear can be cast throughout the entire body of water, using any of the acceptable methods. Trout will quickly evaluate the offered baits and begin to respond to them almost instantly.

The best places during this period are considered to be rifts , edges , places near snags and stones at the bottom, places where water is supplied to the reservoir .

Winter

You can catch trout on a platform in winter, but for this you need to take into account only one thing: whether the pond freezes or not. From the ice, the same gear is used; in open and cold water, slightly different options are used.

The fishing location does not change; with a significant drop in water and air temperatures, the trout will go to the depressions and wait there for more suitable conditions. The fish will happily respond to almost all baits offered to it during this period.

Features of choosing bait for trout

One of the most important criteria for selecting bait for trout fishing is its relatively small size. The predator is not distinguished by its enormous mouth size and can attack a narrow, elongated victim even if it has its own considerable size. As a rule, the length of the simulator should not exceed 5 cm, and its width 1.5-2 cm. In practice, even with a couple of standard maggots a significant trophy can be caught.

Important! It has been noted that trout loves bright and distinct colors.

Professionals in trout fishing collect an arsenal of baits from catchy exotic colors with a bias towards red, pink and purple. When choosing a fishing option, the factor of seasonality, or rather, water temperature, is important. The predator avoids warm waters in the summer, hiding in the shade of trees, where it is caught with fly fishing flies and nymphs, as well as near cold springs and small streams and rivers flowing into the main body of water. In confluence areas, fishing with wobblers and silicone is more acceptable.

In spring and autumn, when the water temperature is stable, staying below 15-13 degrees, trout are caught using various types of spoons, varying colors based on the intensity of daylight, following the rule - dark shades on a clear day and light colors in cloudy weather. In winter, when ice fishing, the fish take on bright paste and sheer spoons of silver and golden color, and it is not uncommon to catch a predator on an exotic-colored balancer the size of a perch fish.

Features of fishing by season

For each season, experienced fishermen use different types of gear, with which they certainly won’t be able to miss a trophy. But it is worth noting that a real fisherman must be fully armed under any circumstances, so it is better to always carry the minimum possible arsenal with you.

Spring fishing

During this period, trout on the fishing grounds are very active, the sun and cool water have an exciting effect on them. The fish splashes both near the coastline and at depth with the same intensity. A long spring with frequent frosts will not allow it to come close to the surface, so in such weather conditions it is worth looking for fish in the bottom layers of the reservoir.

All gear used for trout will work during this period:

• spinning
• float tackle
• bottom
• fly fishing

Feeder and spinning rod will be especially relevant; the main thing is to choose a good place and assemble the tackle correctly. At this time, the fish will be cautious, so the formation is carried out with thin, inconspicuous, but strong components.

Autumn fishing

After a hot summer the trout’s activity increases ; it tries to eat the fat that was partially lost during the “rest” period. The fish will not miss a single opportunity to feast, so it will greedily rush to all the bait and lures offered to it. You can use all possible open water fishing methods:

• donk
• feeder
• spinning
• float tackle

It’s not worth fishing with fly fishing during this period; the effectiveness of the gear is no longer the same as in the spring.

Victoria Leshchenko

I've been working hard in the fishing tackle department for the past six years. I can help you assemble almost any gear.

Ask a Question

It is worth understanding that in the fall the fish are more frisky, so the tackle is collected more firmly.

You can try to install girders, if this is not prohibited by the rules of the pond. You can use small live bait as bait; the fish will respond well to this delicacy.

Ice fishing

Fishing on paid platforms does not stop even with the onset of winter . In relatively cool water, the fish feels great, it actively feeds and moves around the reservoir.

Some water areas freeze for the winter, then they fish with winter gear:

• zherlitsy
• winter float fishing rod
• jig tackle
• flashing

If the reservoir is not covered with ice for the winter, then use the same gear as in the fall .

Promising places for trout fishing do not depend on the seasons; in open water, fish will stand in holes , small depressions in the bottom , near places where water is supplied to the water area, and hide behind stones and snags while hunting. In winter, trout (from the ice) are searched for in depressions; the fish will move there for the winter.

Artificial baits

Along with lures of natural origin, trout can also be caught using artificial options:

• spoon. Rotating models with fast play give good results;
• wobblers. The optimal length is 4-10 cm; floating types that imitate the play of a wounded fish are considered universal;
• streamers. Effective lures for large fish, ideal for fly fishing enthusiasts.

Features of using baits

The choice of the most suitable option largely depends on the season and characteristics of the reservoir. For example, bait for trout in the summer should be brightly colored so that the fish will show interest in it and want to attack. This applies to artificial baits such as spinners or wobblers.

In the spring, when fishing from the surface, they use different flies - the fish thinks that these are animated insects and willingly bites on them. All sorts of natural baits are also used - this is their time. In winter, due to the passivity of trout and the absence of living organisms that are part of the usual diet of pied fish, you can fish with micro-spoon baits.

Trout paste deserves special attention - it is a super catchy bait, trout react 100% to it! Moreover, the most passive one, which was indifferent to other types of bait. The whole secret lies in the composition of the mixture - it is a highly concentrated protein with an attractant.

Our store offers a wide selection of baits of different types, so you will not have any difficulties in purchasing catchy options, taking into account the characteristics of fishing.

What to fish for trout with: trout tackle

You can catch trout with several types of gear, each of which will bring success to the angler only if properly collected and used. In order not to miss your chance to catch a trophy, you should prepare before fishing, review and sort through all the gear, and, if necessary, replace the components with more reliable ones.

Spinning

not every form is suitable for trout . To lure out a predator, you need to select all the components correctly and at the same time not scare off the potential prey.

• Carbon ultralight blank , the length of which can be selected individually. Rods of 2.2-2.5 m are considered the most convenient for fishing from the coastline , depending on the body of water being fished. Test values ​​should not exceed 8 g; ideally, the lower value should be zero. It is better to take a super fast action, then every touch of the fish to the bait will be visible by the tip of the whip. It is better to choose a cortical handle, it slips less in the hand, the reel right away, all flaws will be visible to the naked eye.
• The reel should not be heavy, but it should hold enough warp and work properly. For such a form, select a specimen with a spool size of no more than 1500 sizes and a front drag; this is quite enough even for landing a large trophy. The minimum number of bearings required is 4 or more, plus one in the line layer.
• Both fishing line and braided cord are chosen as the base. An important indicator is strength with minimal thickness and invisibility in water. Monochromes in the spring are used of no more than 0.2 mm ; in the fall, thicker options are chosen; often even 0.3 mm is used, but it is completely transparent. For a cord you will need a thinner diameter, 0.12 mm is quite enough for fishing in the spring, but in the fall you should not use anything thicker than 0.18 mm.
• It is mandatory to use leashes for spinning tackle fluorocarbon is considered the best option , and its thickness in the spring is at least 0.25 mm; in the fall, you can use 0.35 mm. The length can be different, a minimum of 25 cm, when fishing with a retractable leash it can reach up to one and a half meters.
• Fittings are installed only of high quality: the minimum size must withstand the maximum possible loads. It is better to use “anti-glare” options, which allows you not to scare away the fish from the bait or bait even in sunny weather.

All that remains is to pick up the bait and go to the pond, where checking the collected gear will show whether everything was done correctly.

Tackle has its advantages and disadvantages

ease of tackle

Possibility of use not only for trout

ease of collection

not every beginner immediately masters wiring

when hooked, there is a high probability of losing the bait

for beginners and not only when fishing, the whip often breaks, the reason for this is the inability to work with the reel clutch

Otherwise, spinning tackle will bring a lot of pleasure to both novice and experienced fishermen.

Feeder

Trout can also be caught on a feeder, using gear with a medium load and an appropriate whip.

• A high-quality form, and the length can vary from 3 m to 4 m . Both rods made of pure carbon fiber are used for such fishing, they will be a little lighter, as well as composite options. This will not affect the quality of fishing; everyone relies on their own capabilities and preferences. You should choose from models that have three quivertypes, the maximum possible test is 100-120 g. They also use rods with higher performance, but this is enough for trout.
• The reel is selected from power models; preference is given to options with a baitrunner or with a rear friction brake . Experienced fishermen claim that it will be easier to work when hooking and fishing. It’s worth looking at the number of bearings; the minimum should be three, plus one in the line layer. The spool size is from 3000 or more, depending on what kind of catch the fisherman is counting on.
• For the base, it is better to take a good quality fishing line, with a diameter of at least 0.3 mm in the spring and 0.4 mm in the autumn . Preference is given to transparent or rainbow options; they will be minimally visible in the water column at different times of the year. Fishing using braid was also allowed.
• Accessories, fasteners and swivels are selected from trusted manufacturers with good tear properties. You shouldn't use shiny ones , but dark ones are perfect.
• Feeders are used depending on the topography of the water area. With minimal flow, a 20-30 g feeder is suitable, or you can do without it at all. Not everyone uses bait; some people think that it is superfluous for catching trout on a platform.

The advantages of feeder gear include the opportunity after each cast to simply admire nature or talk with family and friends. Using this gear, you can catch fish from the bottom layers of the water area, where they are found during the cold season. The disadvantages include frequent recasting when using bait and studying the operation of a reel with a baitrunner.

Float tackle

The most popular tackle among beginners who go to a paid pond for trout. It is easy to assemble and use, and both lapdogs and flywheels are equally in demand.

• A fishing rod 5-6 meters with rings , you can take one of the carbon options or buy a slightly simpler one, a composite one. The main indicator should be a fairly hard whip.
• It is better to install a spinning reel , this will help bring out even large fish without problems. There must be at least three bearings, the spool size should not exceed 1500.
• The best basis for this gear is considered to be a fishing line with a diameter of 0.22 mm in the spring and 0.3 mm in the fall. Transparent or rainbow are more suitable, there should be enough of it on the reel, from 70 m or more.
• Hooks are selected depending on the bait used; smaller ones are used for a worm, larger ones for a small shrimp. One size is suitable for a worm, a completely different one for a small shrimp, the main thing is that the wire is thin and strong, and the sting is sharp.
• The float is chosen individually; for long casting it is better to take a heavier and brighter option. When fishing near the coastline or bridge, products with minimal loading are used.

Ask a Question

A leash must be installed; usually it is made of thinner fishing line.

The swing version of the tackle is formed from:

• The rods are of the appropriate type, the length can vary from 5 m to 7 m depending on the fishing characteristics. Carbon fiber ones are considered the best options; they are light and sweeping.
• The fishing line is taken with a cross-section of 0.2 mm for spring fishing and 0.25 mm for autumn fishing . You only need 5-7 m.
• The float is chosen individually; it is not worth installing a heavy and sliding type.
• Hooks are selected for the selected bait.
• Leashes are made independently from thinner fishing line, length 20 cm or more.

Pros and cons of float gear

easy to assemble

ease of use

the ability to fish both the coastal zone and make longer casts

use a variety of bait options

the trout is not always caught on the hook when it is offered a delicacy

with abundant vegetation on the shore, long-distance casting will be problematic

Otherwise, the gear has proven itself only from the best side; most fishermen use just this kind of installation.

Fishing with a bombard

Not every angler has an ultralight rod , but he wants to catch trout. What to do in this case? There is no need to despair, even with a rough spinning blank you can throw a light-weight bait, namely flies, to the required distance. An assistant here will be a bombard or a water-filling float. The tackle is not difficult to assemble and use, you just have to get used to casting.

• remove the leash from any equipped spinning blank
• put a stopper, then the bombard itself, then another stopper
• then attach the leash and the bait itself

All that remains is to throw the finished equipment; if the artificial bait flies poorly as it is, you should fill the body of the bombard with water, this will make the equipment heavier.

The bite is checked by the float, the depth is set with silicone or rubber stoppers. All that remains is to detect the trophy in time and bring it to the landing net.

Pros and cons of fishing with a bombard

possibility of using light, medium, heavy baits of various types

can be used both for trout fishing and for other predators

rigidity of the rod, which is beneficial when hatching heavy specimens

it is difficult for a beginner to adjust the depth of the float

inexperienced fishermen often overlap the bait with the bombard

However, the negative aspects can be easily corrected; once you get used to throwing the tackle, everything will go like clockwork.

Features of fishing on paid reservoirs

Typically, the fishing method does not differ much from fishing in ordinary reservoirs. However, on paid sites, fishermen noted the effectiveness of wobblers and spinners, as well as the large number of trophies caught on them. The fishing technique used is an ordinary game with bait.

Having thrown the bait into the water surface, you need to pull it up, slightly swaying from side to side. If you wish, you can pull the line forward without swinging, but you should change the speed of movement. If there is a current in the reservoir, then the bait is simply lowered through the water, and the fishing line is kept taut.

If there are no bites for 15-30 minutes, you should try to make more frequent casts, as the trout shows interest in the process of falling prey, which will undoubtedly increase the chance of a bite. In addition, when assembling gear, it is worth considering that fish give preference to long leashes.

When choosing a fishing location in the summer months, it is worth remembering that trout choose cool areas of the reservoir. At other times of the year, you can try casting bait in different places.

The main advantages of paid reservoirs are:

• Possibility of traveling to the body of water closest to your place of residence.
• A large number of trophy specimens that are difficult to find in free reservoirs.
• There is a more active bite on the pay zones than on public rivers and lakes.
• There are a large number of catchable places for fishing, since the bottom of reservoirs usually has a convenient topography.

Trout leads an active lifestyle and constantly moves around the reservoir, occasionally surfacing to the surface to warm up in the sun or in search of food (fallen bugs).

The most catchy places may be:

• with the presence of pits;
• near bridges;
• in areas of the reservoir with a large concentration of fishermen, the fish approach the sound of splashes coming from the thrown baits.

Fishing gear

An increased level of fish activity does not mean that successful fishing will require a primitive fishing rod without any special features.

To choose the most catchable tackle, you should take into account the advice of experts when choosing:

• Fishing rod – it is advisable to purchase a spinning rod with increased elasticity, which will allow you to restrain the strong resistance of the fish and jerks when fishing. In addition, the spinning rod should not be heavy, so it is more advisable to choose from the ultralight class. The length of the tackle should be about 2.2 m (maximum 2.5 m), and the test should not exceed 15 g. Fishing experts advise purchasing Deiko and Pontoon-21 spinning rods.
• Reel – the most popular Shimano mechanism with a spool size of 1500-2000. The location of the clutch is preferably front. When selecting, you should make sure that the line is tightly laid in the line layer.
• Fishing line - a monofilament type with a diameter of about 0.20 mm is suitable. The small thickness will not spook the fish, but at the same time it will do an excellent job of dampening jerks when fishing. Braid is rarely used when fishing for trout, since the fish sees it well in the water surface and behaves warily.
• A swivel and a carabiner will help you quickly and conveniently change baits.
• Hooks – with a sharp sting.

Lures

Trout bites well at any time of the year. In winter, fishermen use as bait:

• Small jigs and spinners
• Rubber (edible).
• Nymphs of soft types, made in the form of crayfish with legs and tentacles. Such a bait, when it gets into the water, actively moves its legs, which makes it similar to a real crayfish. The surface of the product is treated with aromatic oils that imitate the smell of the usual fish food base. Nymphs go on sale in a variety of colors, which makes it possible to choose the most suitable color of the bait for a particular case and certain weather conditions.

Bait intended for winter fishing is served using a variety of methods. The most popular is the classic method of slowly lifting the jig. An equally effective method is to smoothly lower the bait.

During the warm season the following are actively used:

• trout paste;
• boiled shrimp (in no case should you add spices when cooking);
• bloodworm;
• worm and maggot (attracts small fish);
• Salmon caviar - a far from cheap product - was to the taste of the trout; usually large specimens go for such bait.

Fishing Features

The trout bites quite sharply and aggressively attacks the bait without hesitation. When fishing with a balance beam, the blows are applied from below, which throws the bait upward. In this case, the fish tries to capture the palebait completely, catching on both doubles at the same time.

Such a bite requires immediate hooking. However, hesitant bites may occur, which will only slightly bend the nod. In this case, the fishing rod will not transmit accurate information, therefore, in order to avoid the catch becoming dirty, you should wait for the moment when the force of the jerks becomes more convincing and only then carry out the hooking.

Fishing for trout is the most exciting part of fishing, especially for large specimens that bravely defend their freedom. In order not to miss the desired prey when fishing, you should keep the line tensioned and confidently pull the fish in at the same time.

When fishing in winter, you should not lose vigilance when trout approaches the outer part of the hole. Particular care should be taken so that the catch does not rub the monofilament on sharp ice edges. In addition, you should not pull the line to bring the fish directly onto the ice.

It is recommended to wait until the fish head appears at the hole and press it against the wall with your hand, then quickly push it up to the ice surface. The whole process is carried out quickly, since the flock, having seen the caught fish, will definitely leave the parking lot.

Fishing in winter with jigs is no less successful. In good weather, black bait colors are used, and on cloudy days, yellow and white baits are used. Drop-shaped jigs and “ants” are considered the most catchy.

They are comfortably held with your fingers when baiting bloodworms and are easily removed from the fish’s mouth.

If the trout is in search of food at shallow depths, then you should use a fast game with stops and slight descents. Shrimp pulp (boiled) can be used as bait. It should be baited by the outermost part of the hook, which will make it possible to carry out enticing vibrations in the water surface.

To quickly interest the trout, you should use pieces of shrimp with loose fibers, which will become a source of a strong odor. If the interval between bites exceeds 30 minutes, then it is recommended to change the shrimp pulp as often as possible, since the aroma that remains for a long period of time in the aquatic environment gradually disappears.

When using bait in the warm season, fishermen constantly throw the bait lowered to the surface of the bottom with a rod and wait a short pause (about 20 s). After several retrieves, the bait is raised by 0.5-0.6 m and the game is repeated again.

Despite the activity of trout, it is sometimes characterized by a sluggish mood. Typically, the decline in bite occurs in changeable weather, when cloudiness and windiness are quickly replaced by clear skies and calm. In this case, only slow play with bait with low amplitudes of vibrations that occur in the bottom layers of the reservoir can save fishing.

In unstable weather conditions, fish may show interest in bunches of bloodworms strung on a hook. Fishing should be carried out after periodically throwing crushed food into the fished area, which forms a small turbidity that attracts fish from afar.

Features of winter fishing

Often, platoons are equipped so that they do not freeze in winter; in this case, fishing continues all year round with the usual gear for fishing in open water. If a lake or pond is covered with ice, then appropriate gear will be required. In winter, trout are caught on the platform:

• For jig tackle, this will require a light fishing rod with a foam handle, 15-20 m of fishing line with a diameter of 0.1-0.14 mm , a nod to determine the bite selected for the jig, and the jig itself. Trout respond best to bait in the form of small bugs, ants and other living creatures.
• While trolling will be successful, this method will require stronger tackle. A fishing rod is chosen with a hard whip, a fishing line is selected that is at least 0.16 mm in diameter , a nod is also needed to determine the bite, and you can’t do without a spinner. For trout, small vertical models are chosen, and different colors are used.
• The trout also like the balancer; the tackle is standard, just like for a spinner. With this fishing method, it is important to be able to play the bait correctly so that it can attract cautious fish.
• Separately, it is worth highlighting the girders; this method is classified as passive. For equipment you will need a fishing line 0.3 mm in diameter, 10-15 m for each unit. The sinker, its weight is selected depending on the fishing conditions, the triple or double hook and the live bait itself. Girders are installed in places where trout accumulate on the platform during wintering and on relative shallows during thaws.

It is also possible to fish with float tackle in winter, with a worm serving as bait and the tackle being collected using small winter fishing rods.

Popular Types of Trout Fishing. Tackle, Equipment, Fishing Technique

I would like to mention the trout paste. It is cheap, and you can prepare it yourself. Contains protein mixture + flavoring. The bait can sink or float.

If the fish is near the surface of the edge, a floating bait will do. Colors: bright yellow or carrot. Roll the ball and place it on the hook, hiding the tip (you will have to give the mixture an oval shape).

Tackle - bottom, float fishing rod, we will also include the above equipment - bombard.

There are 2 More Types of Fishing Recognized as Effective:

The first one is Fishing for Trout on a Balancer. This well-known artificial bait is suitable for lovers of winter “hunting” for trout. You can buy products from the Nils Master or Kamasan brands. When the bait fades - it stops oscillating, the fish bites;

And 1 More Type of Fishing - Jerking. This is trout fishing with wood baits (jerkbaits). If you remove the exaggeration, then this is a class of wobblers. The only differences are the large size and the absence of blades. Technique: jerking and jerking.

What do trout bite on: lures and baits

Without properly selected lures and baits, trout fishing on a platform will not be successful. These components of the gear are selected individually for each installation, but even here there are subtleties and tricks.

6 Best Feeder Baits

Only animal species are used as bait for the feeder; plant and artificial trout cannot be attracted. Trout responds best to:

1. dung worm
2. moth larva
3. earthworm
4. shrimp
5. mealworm
6. amphipod

Colored maggot is also sometimes used by fishermen, but it will not always work.

It will also be good to bite on fishing dough with flavors such as shrimp, krill, halibut, bloodworm.

Ask a Question

The bait used must be added to the groundbait in order to bind these two components together.

4 best spinning baits

Using ultralight or tackle with a bombard, they try to interest trout in different types of artificial baits. They have one thing in common: light weight, but in everything else they can be very different:

1. Flies are used on a single, double or triple hook, and an important characteristic is the presence of red lurex on the bait. Likenesses of butterflies and small beetles will work great.
2. When using wobblers, preference should be given to minnow and crank ; trout will definitely attack them almost immediately. It is worth choosing small-sized fish, and the depth should be as minimal as possible. It is impossible to single out any colors; completely different options will work in different bodies of water.
3. Pinwheels are used with a round petal, the so-called Aglia . Of the well-known Meps, the maximum for trout is No. 1 , and the model must have an edge on the tee. Other manufacturers have proven themselves no worse, the main thing is to be able to move the bait so that the fish notices it in the water column.
4. Micro-oscillators are used with one hook; these are the models that are considered trout. Silver and rainbow colors will work best; in sunny weather, you should try bronze or darkened options. The maximum weight is 4-5 g, more is not needed for this ichthyan.

Silicone bait is rarely used; trout react to it extremely rarely. But if there is a complete lack of bite, you can try to equip a microjig for a predator .

3 baits for float fishing

A bare hook is unlikely to be attractive to fish, including trout. In float gear it is covered with an animal bait:

1. worm;
2. moth larva;
3. Amphipod.

You can use both single nozzles and “sandwiches”, that is, arrange them in different orders, plant maggots or plant elements.

For zherlitsy

Grills and baitfish will require slightly different bait, it will also be animal. Live bait is used to attract attention, namely small-sized roach, ruffe, and gudgeon. They are considered the natural food of trout in the wild.

Experienced fishermen also use available options; shell meat from a pond will always help in this case.

At the end of the material, we invite the reader to familiarize themselves with the rating list of the top 10 best lures for trout, which will help the fisherman competently and effectively form his initial arsenal of working baits, subsequently supplementing it with individual selection experience as a result of successful fishing practice.

The presented models of simulators are not only popular, but also available for sale and are not critical in terms of their price, so they will be affordable for every fisherman.

Aglia Long Redbow silver

Aglia Long Redbow silver
The leader in trout spinning fishing is the Mepps spinner Aglia Long Redbow silver. Active trout do not miss this kind of imitator that gets into its visibility zone. They buy 2-3 numbers of turntables for their arsenals and try to keep in stock several colors that are radically different from the proposed version.

Yo-zuri L-Minnow 44

Wobblers are not much inferior to spinners, and one of the brightest representatives of a catchable wobbler, located on the second line of the rating, is the Yo-zuri L-Minnow 44 model. Wobbler with smooth play, ultra-light direction with fishing depths of up to 2 meters.

Syclops Silver/Black

We give third place to the oscillating spoon from the French brand Mepps with its Syclops Silver/Black. The eye-catching coloring and distinct game make even a passive predator attack. It works in spring and autumn at depths of up to 5 meters due to its weight of 9 grams, allowing you to fish at long and medium distances.

Jackall Chubby 38 F

The crank wobbler Jackall Chubby 38 F, located in the fourth position, is famous for its versatility, tempting not only trout, but also the perch that often lives nearby, and other predatory fish. Suitable for fishing shallows of 0.5 - 1 meter.

Blue Fox Foxee Fish

The fifth rating number is for the effective wobbler Blue Fox Foxee Fish. This simulator allows you to hunt for predators in deep-water areas of the pond up to 4 meters, both by casting and by an alternative spinning type of fishing in the form of trolling.

Balzer Sbiro Helocopter fly

The sixth place is occupied by the surface fly fishing attachment Balzer Sbiro Helocopter fly. A two-gram imitation dry type fly is used in fly fishing, when fishing with sbirulino and ultralight. Ideal for hunting predators under overhanging tree crowns or coastal bushes in the summer.

Balzer Sbiro Streamer

We assign number seven to Balzer Sbiro Streamer. The streamer is an ideal representative in the installation of sbirulino. A wet, slow-sinking bait weighing 3 grams according to the classification of fly fishing baits will not become an extra in the trout arsenal in the summer and pre-autumn season.

Angler`z System Area Spoon Dohna

Angler`z System Area Spoon Dohna

We attach an eight to the Angler`z System Area Spoon Dohna spinner. A tool carried at a medium pace with alternating single strikes often provokes inactive fish in the zone of a successful feeding trajectory.

Nories Masukurouto Rooney

The Nories Masukurouto Rooney spoon is offered by the manufacturer in a wide range of colors, of which orange, pink and scarlet variations are distinguished by catchability. The spinner model is in ninth position, notable for its good fishing results in spring muddy water.

Using bait

The opinions of fishermen with experience on this matter are divided; some believe that it is useless to use bait for this predator. After all, this is a predator, so let it get its food in a natural way, and a slight hunger will only make the fish more active. Others, on the contrary, recommend using bait mixtures; they will allow you to keep a school of predators in the right place for the required amount of time.

Ask a Question

It has been experimentally proven that with bait the catch will be several times greater.

Homemade

If you decide to join those who use bait, then you should learn how to prepare it yourself. It’s worth saying right away that it definitely won’t be cheaper than purchased, but the efficiency is much better.

Trout responds well to various animal odors; they are accustomed to hannibalism. In natural reservoirs, it successfully hunts salmon fry; it is these features that should be taken into account when making mixtures yourself.

Self-cooked at home is considered the best from one part salmon caviar and three parts fish feed, but this pleasure will not come cheap.

It was possible to make the recipe more accessible, while the effectiveness was practically not affected. To prepare you will need:

• eggs
• milk
• compound feed
• squid
• salted herring
• canned corn.

First of all, an omelet is prepared from eggs and milk, then it is kneaded and mixed with fish feed. The seafood is cleaned and added to the omelette mixture, the corn is passed through a meat grinder and sent there, followed by syrup from a jar. Mix everything well and leave for no more than 10 hours . It is important to use the mixture within 24 hours, otherwise it will disappear and will scare away potential catches rather than attract them.

Purchased options

Not a single manufacturer produces bait for trout separately. Experienced fishermen recommend using pellets, but not any of the options will work. To be sure to be with your catch, preference should be given to the following aromas:

• with fish
• with shrimp
• with caviar
• with cheese
• with garlic

Krill and halibut will also work well. You should not blindly follow these statements; if there is a complete lack of bite, you should try something new for this predator. Perhaps this way it will be possible to gain his favor.

4 purchased baits for trout

There are now a lot of pellet manufacturers on the fishing tackle market; every angler has the right to choose exactly the one he likes best. Experienced fishermen recommend starting with:

1. Top Secret
2. Greenfish
3. Silver
4. Dynamite baits

The products of these companies have proven themselves well and have been tested more than once by many beginning and experienced fishermen.
