How to Fish For Trout With Spinning Gear

There are two main ways to fish for trout. You can fish for trout with fly fishing gear and you can fish for trout with spinning gear. In this article I will teach you how to fish for trout with spinning gear. I have been "trout fishing" for twenty plus years and have always done so while using traditional spinning gear, so I have a lot of experience with this subject matter.

I fish for trout in much the same way that a "fly fishermen" does, which means that I wear waders and tend to be in the water with the trout I am attempting to catch and wear a fly fishing vest to carry all of my tackle. These are both things that I suggest for anyone who wants to fish for trout, no matter what type of "gear" they use, therefore this is the first key to how to fish for trout with spinning gear, wear a fishing vest to carry all of you gear (lures, hooks, line, etc), and when necessary wade in the water that you are fishing.

The second thing that is a "must" if you want to know how to fish for trout with spinning gear is to use an ultra light rod and reel and that is spooled with very light fishing line. One reason that an ultra light rod and reel are utilized is mainly because ultra light action rods and reels are made specifically for using two to six pound test fishing line, which is the size fishing line that you want to use anytime that you fish for trout. Using ultra light gear also "forces" you to play your catch, which makes you a better all around fisherman. So, a fishing vest, ultra light rod and reel, and light fishing line are all integral if you want to fish for trout with spinning gear.

The next factor to discuss when it comes to trout fishing with spinning gear are the techniques that are used. It's important to be proficient with at least two techniques so that you can change your technique as fishing conditions dictate. Some of these techniques would include; drift fishing either a live worm or spinner, using a "fly bubble" to fish with artificial flies in either a lake or river, drifting a small jig for hungry trout, and/or still fishing dough bait such as Powerbait for stocked trout in a local lake. By being proficient with at least two trout fishing techniques you can change techniques at the fishing conditions change, which means that you will end up catching more trout.

The last key to how to trout fish with spinning gear is to spend as much time on the water fishing for trout as you can. There is nothing that will increase your bite rates like spending time on the water practicing your craft. Just as with most everything in life, there is no substitute for practice. So, determine your favorite technique and master it, then do the same with another technique, and so on. Before you know it you will be able to fish for (and catch) trout any time that you would like.
