Although this leisure activity can be easy, this is only half the truth. There are a lot you can and should do to in order to increase your chances of good catches. This is especially true for trout fishing with lures and spinners. Getting the trout to bite is often a challenge and many factors will affect your chances for successful sport fishing. One of the most important factors is to choose the right lure. It is ultimately this that will entice the trout to bite.
Choosing Lure
There are several important factors that affect what you should use the end of the line. When you walk into a sports store to buy equipment, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the varieties on offer. Through this article you will hopefully gain the knowledge you need to make conscious and appropriate assessments in the selection of spinners and lures for this sport fishing.
During trout fishing it is important to consider the size and weight of the lure you use. Some commercials (often American) claim that they can sell you a lure in a size that always will provide good results and catches. This is quite simply wrong. Trout that feed exclusively of small insects generally will not bite on a big spoon, while trout that feed on larger prey almost never bite on a small spinner.
First and foremost, the size must be adapted to your rod. If you use a spinner that is too small, you will experience short casting with poor precision, while a spoon that is too heavy could destroy some of the resilience of the rod. During this sport fishing you must also adapt the lure according to the fish you're looking to catch. Check how big the trout usually are in the area where you are going sport fishing, and then select the size of the lures and spinner on the basis of this knowledge. Also, you need knowledge of the depths and any current conditions that will affect your sport fishing. If you are looking for trout in rivers, strong currents or deep water will require that you use heavier lures.
You must also choose the shape and color on your lures. Usually, the answer is to choose colors that match the natural environment in your fishing spots. The use of colors and shapes that mimic insects and other prey will be a good choice. If the trout feed on a particular insect, it may be wise to use a small spinner to imitate this insect. The general rule is that you should customize your spinners and lures to the prevailing conditions. But as with all forms of sport fishing, there are no absolute rules. You should have a selection of gear that is adapted to local conditions. Also, you should have some gear in other shapes and colors, so you have the ability to vary if the fish do not bite. Variation is often the key to successful sport fishing.
Conditions
During the summer the water temperature is the most important factor for trout fishing. Even when it reaches over 20 degrees Celsius, it is possible to fish for trout, but usually it will be difficult to get good catches. If possible, you should seek out other spots nearby, in which the water is cooler. A small river or a mountain lake will often be well suited for sport fishing when water temperatures are at their highest. Another option is to go sport fishing at dawn, when the water temperature is at its coldest.
Choosing the best suited spinners and spoons requires a little effort from you as a fisherman. The more information and knowledge you have about the conditions at your fishing spots, the greater is the possibility of choosing the right gear.
Choosing the right spinners and spoons will often be the key to successful trout fishing. Variation is often the key to a good catch. Remember that the tips mentioned above are general guidelines. Local conditions will always be a part of the assessments you should do when you try sport fishing with lures and spinners.
