Several manufacturers sell bottled salmon eggs, corn pellets and "dough" products. Prepackaged trout bait is another alternative. Minnows and mealworms can also attract trout. 14 regular shank bronze hooks, these worms will stay active and lively for several minutes underwater. Nightcrawlers, large earthworms that emerge from the ground at night, are still popular. A little searching can turn up aquatic larvae known as hellgrammites, grasshoppers, grubs, leeches and caddisfly cases. Some anglers prefer to find bait near the water they'll be fishing. Choose monofilament line in the 6-to-15-pound (2.7-to-6.8-kilogram) class to make sure the line doesn't bunch up inside the cover.įishing with artificial flies can be rewarding, but the learning curve is smaller with natural bait. The line spins off the end of a spool and passes out through a hole in the reel cover. To cast, you depress a trigger and, as the rod brings the lure forward, release. In spin-cast equipment, the line spool is enclosed in a housing mounted to the top of the rod. Spinning outfits are great solutions for this kind of fishing, but spin-casting rigs are also effective. Larger streams call for heavier rigs, medium to heavy action, 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 meters) long. You might also consider a two-piece rod for easy transport. Because trout tend to be "line shy," consider using line in the 2-to-4-pound (0.9-to-1.8-kilogram) test weight category. You can buy spinning rods and reels separately, or you can buy a combination, which comes with a rod and reel already prespooled with line. A spinning ultralight rig, which combines the short, flexible rod with a reel featuring a fully exposed spool at the front of the reel, will give you the most flexibility in this category. ![]() Small streams have less water, smaller fish and more underbrush, so you'll want an ultralight rod between 4 and 5 feet (1.2 and 1.5 meters) long. That's because fishing for trout in small streams differs from fishing in large streams or rivers. The popular mantra of real estate - location, location, location - is helpful when considering trout fishing rigs. ![]()
