Anyone who spends any time fishing knows how effective artificial flies can be as bait for fish, yet may no be aware of the fact that you don't have to be a "fly fisherman" to fish with an artificial fly. While "fly fishing" is certainly a very effective way to fish with artificial flies, there is another way to fish with this effective fish bait and it involves the use of a casting bubble (sometimes referred to as a fly fishing bubble).
Fishing with a fly fishing bubble is the best way for a traditional fisherman using spin fishing gear to fish with an artificial fly. The problem with fishing with artificial flies is that flies are extremely lightweight, thus the reason that traditional fly fishing involves the use of specialized line and very long fishing rods. With that specialized line and long fishing rod a fly fisherman can cast and fish a lightweight artificial fly effectively. With the help of fly fishing bubble traditional spin fishermen can also cast and fish lightweight flies effectively.
Below I will outline a pair of scenarios where spin fishermen can catch more fish while fishing with these unique "bubbles" and using an artificial fly as bait.
1.Using One In a Lake - Any game fish that is found in a lake more than likely eats insects, which means that lakes are a great place to use a fly bubble. Using a casting bubble to fish an artificial fly in a lake couldn't be easier. As a matter of fact, fishing with casting bubbles in a lake is a great place to learn how to "fly fish" in this manner. In order to set up a casting bubble rig you will need only four things. A casting bubble, a swivel, a leader, and an artificial fly. The bubble is slipped through your line, with the swivel tied to the end of the line to act as a 'stopper' for the bubble. A leader is attached to the opposite end of the swivel and the fly is tied to the end of the leader. The bubble itself is submerged under the water to add water (weight) to the bubble. If you are fishing a dry (floating) fly the bubble is filled half way. If your are fishing a wet (sinking) fly the bubble is filled completely with water. This rig is now cast into the lake and allowed to settle. Once the water "settles", the rig is retrieved. There is little doubt that fishing with casting bubbles in a lake is a great place to learn the basics of the technique.
2.Using One In a River - Fishing with this unique piece of terminal tackle in a river is a bit more difficult. As a general rule you will use a shorter leader when using a casting bubble in a river type scenario. Whereas you might use a six to seven foot leader when using casting bubbles in a lake, in a river a three to five foot leader would probably be a better bet. When river fishing with a casting bubble, dry flies tend to be much easier to use. Normally 'runs' and 'pools' are much easier to fish when using an artificial fly as bait in this manner.
The two ways above are both great ways to catch more fish while fishing with casting bubbles. The bottom line is that if you are a spin fisherman and don't use casting bubbles, you probably want to start sooner, rather than later.

Lake Fishing Tips For Winter
Lake fishing in Winter can be great fun and you can catch a surprising number of fish if you use the right techniques.
In the Summer months it is usually quite easy to get the fish biting as the warmth will encourage most fish to become lively. This will also mean that they will expend more energy and become hungry and eat more food.
In the Winter months the fish will not be as energetic and as they expend less energy their appetites will also be reduced.
This will mean that you will need to use different methods to catch them.
It is worth remembering that fish have a sense of smell that is something like, three hundred times more powerful than a human's. Fish are attracted to food by what they can smell, once they are near to the food source they will then see it and be able to eat it.
So when you are fishing in winter, the bait you use is very important.
Bearing this in mind, if you used for example, luncheon meat in summer to catch carp, you will find that if you can warm the luncheon meat that you are going to use as ground bait up, it will give off a greater smell and you will still be able to attract carp to your swim.
If you have a flask of hot water, a good way to do this, is to put some small amounts of luncheon meat (that you are going to use as ground bait) in a small bag, such as a sandwich bag and put them in a cup of hot water for about five minutes.
When they the meat is warm, you will be able to smell it and then you know the fish will be able to smell it really well.
Then you can cast your bait out, and throw the warm luncheon meat out as ground bait.
Follow this process a few times and you will often find that you can attract some good fish to your swim quite quickly.
Another thing to remember is that as a fish in winter does not expend so much energy it will have a smaller appetite, so use smaller hooks and put smaller pieces of bait on for the best results.
Whilst on the subject of bait, it is worth mentioning that although maggots are super bait for summer in winter they are not of any use because they will die quickly because of the cold and attract virtually no fish although casters can still be good.
Bread can still be good bait. Once again think about how the smell attracts fish. A friend of mine makes his own bread and mixes curry flavouring to it in winter, and he usually catches plenty of good fish using this method.
Where in the lake should you fish in winter?
In answer to this, you should remember that fish do not like a cold wind on the surface of the lake.
You should therefore look for part of the lake that is sheltered from the wind. If the sun is out, look for a part of the lake that has sun on it, as this will warm that part of the lake and the fish will be much more active in it. In fact it is amazing how much difference it makes to a days fishing in winter once the sun comes out.
If you usually start fishing early in the morning, it is worth bearing in mind that some of the best fishing in winter will be later in the afternoon once the sun is out and the fish have livened up.
Remember to keep yourself warm in winter. You will be more alert and feel a lot better if you keep warm and feel like staying at the lake for longer.
Plan ahead and take warm clothing, shelter from the wind with some fishing umbrellas and take some warm food and a warm drink with you.
You will often find that not as many anglers will be at even the most popular lakes in Winter, this gives you the chance to find the best swim and often have a great days fishing.

Lake Fishing Tips - Catch More Carp
Carp are one of the most popular species of fish to catch in lakes. One of the reasons for this is that they grow to such a large size and you are always guaranteed a good battle when you hook one.
There are three main categories of carp, crucial, mirror and common. All of these grow to a good size and will give you hours of pleasure in catching them.
Once you have found a lake where you know there are carp, one of the first things you should do is to try and find out what the best bait is to catch them with. You could try by trial and error, but if there are other people fishing at the lake, if you ask them, they will often give you a good idea. On some lakes sweet corn is the best bait, but on others it could be luncheon meat, bread or doilies.
Once you have decided on the bait, you need to find a likely place to catch your carp. If there is a bailiff at the lake, he will be able to give you some information on this that will save you a lot of time. If there is no one to ask, places that carp are likely to be caught, on a sunny day are where there is some shade, near trees or overhanging branches. Other places are those where there are water lilies or other lake plants such as reeds. If you cast out to these places you will often do well.
Another very good place that is often overlooked, but is one of my favourites, is in the margins. The margins, are anywhere from the bank out to about two metres from the bank, around the perimeter of the lake. Carp tend to swim around lakes around the margins, so you do not need to cast out far to catch them.
Once you have decided where to fish, the next thing to do is decide on the method you are going to use.
Probably the most popular method of carp fishing is ledgering with a hair rig. This has proved very successful and the largest carp have probably been caught using this method.
A hair rig consists of a hook with a piece of line attached to it and the bait is threaded on to this. Once a carp takes the bait, the hook is also sucked into the fish's mouth and when it tries to expel the bait, it hooks itself and you will hear your bite alarm sound and know it is time to strike.
I often float fish for carp as I find this very enjoyable.
I often find the margins are one of the best places to catch carp, so I cast no more than two metres out.
I fish so that my bait is just on the bottom of the lake and throw some very small pieces of ground bait out to attract the fish. I think it is important to make this point, because you only need to attract the fish, you do not want to feed them.
Sometimes you will find that after five minutes you get your first bite. Although sometimes it can take up to an hour before your first bite, but I often find that once I have my first bite, I will probably go on getting bites for a couple of hours.
When you are float fishing it is important to make sure that only the colour at the tip of the float is showing, so that with only the smallest of bites there is not much resistance for the carp and it can easily take the float under.
For this reason I usually choose a float with a bright orange tip rather than a dark coloured one, so that I can easily see the tip of the float.
Once the float goes under it is time to strike, with a bit of luck you will hook your fish and catch your first carp of the day.

The Surprising Simplicity of Trout Fishing
Trout fishing often brings with it images of an angler wading knee-deep in a picturesque northern stream, his fly rod whipping back and forth with grace and precision. These images may give some the impression that trout are pretentious, highly selective fish that can't be easily caught.
This is simply not so.
The truth is that trout are fairly easy to catch, especially in a tiny mountain stream. You can catch trout all day long with a simple push-button rod-and-reel. You can even catch trout with a cane pole if you're using live bait and the stream is small enough so that casting isn't necessary.
Trout will readily hit live bait such as earthworms or salmon eggs. In fact, live bait is prohibited in areas with high fishing pressure to prevent overfishing. If that's not a testament to the effectiveness of live bait on freshwater trout, I don't know what is.
Trout will also strike almost anything that's shiny. Metallic lures such as spoons and inline spinners are extremely effective. Silver works better in some areas while gold is preferred in other areas so it's a good idea to have equal amounts of both colors in your tackle box.
When sizing up the stream, look for deep pools, areas of slack current, behind boulders and under steep cut-banks. Cast or drop your line into these areas and you will sometimes get a strike before your bait settles to the bottom.
Trout scare easily and are sensitive to vibrations on the bank. Don't just march up to the stream and start slinging your rod around. Instead, try gently casting in from a distance.
You can also sneak up to the creek's edge on your knees or, better yet, on all fours. Then it's a simple matter of dangling your bait into the water. This was taught to me a long time ago by an outfitter in Wyoming and it really works over cut-banks on the outer edges of meandering streams.
Check local regulations as some areas prohibit the use of live bait. These are the areas where you will want to use your spoons and spinners. Other regulations such as the requirement of single rather than treble hooks may apply in your area as well.
You don't have to learn to be a master fly angler to enjoy trout fishing in a mountain stream. If there's a fish in the water, ordinary spinning tackle can catch it. It's all a question of finding the bait they like and trying your luck!

River Fishing Tips - 3 Tips To Remember When River Fishing
In this article I will outline 3 tips to remember the next time that you go river fishing. Although the term 'river fishing' can mean many things, to me it has always meant wading in and along the river that you are fishing in an attempt to catch fish. To me this is 'river fishing', much like what you think of when you think of "fly fishing", except for the fact that I personally don't fish with flies. I prefer to fish with traditional ultra light spin fishing gear, yet fish in much the same manner that a fly fisherman might. The description above is what I consider river fishing.
While the following fishing tips are particularly effective when fishing in the manner mentioned above, they can also be used effectively in other river fishing scenarios with some minor tweaks. The bottom line is that if you like to fish in the flowing waters that a river provides the following tips will most certainly come in handy and help you catch more fish.
Tread Lightly - When wading in the river that you are fishing an important river fishing tip is to tread lightly. What do I mean by the term 'tread lightly'? I mean that you want to shuffle you feet as little as possible while you are wading. This is especially true when you are within a hundred or so feet of the area you intend to fish. Remember, sound can travel great distances under the water and if weary fish hear anything "out of the ordinary" they are much less apt to bite. This is why you always want to tread lightly when you are wading in a river.
Have A Bait Carrier - One of the best baits to use while river fishing are live worms, and when using live worms on the river having an effective way to carry said worms is of the utmost importance. This is easily one of the best river fishing tips that you will ever receive. A quality bait carrier, such as a JRW bait bag, will save you a ton of valuable fishing time on the water. With a bait bag, baiting up and re-baiting takes seconds, which means you spend more time with your line in the water where the fish are, rather than out of the water while you search for your bait.
Be On The River At The Best Times - No matter what type of river fishing you are doing, being on the river at the best times is of the utmost importance. This can be determined by learning about the weather and moon and the simple ways in which these two natural forces impact fishing. By learning a few simple rules you can always be on the river at the best times for fishing.
These 3 simple river fishing tips will help you experience much more success on your next trip on the river. Add one or all of them to your repertoire sooner rather than later.
