How to find a Trout?
The places fish are found are called “structures”, for example, a submerged log, weed beds or rocky walls/boulders are perfect places to find fish homes. Fish seek these places out to school, for protection and also for ambush. You must first find the food source and the structures that hold the food source and then you will stand a good chance of catching fish. We suggest a sounder to identify submerged logs, boulders etc. or you can fish rock walls or little bays with plenty of sticks in them.
(Note: Fish are active at dawn and dusk ½ to full moon phases)
How to troll for Trout?
We recommend “Spin King” spinners for trolling around structures as well as “Balty Minnows”. Troll the structures slowly and let the lures flash behind the boat.
How to cast for Trout?
We recommend “Spin King” spinners for casting around structures as well as “Balty Minnows”. Work the structure which looks fishy search out different parts of the structure and continue to cast and retrieve.
The "Sprog" is also an excellent trout lure for trolling or cast and retrieve.
We also suggest small soft plastics such as “Finger Baits” as well as the small “B-Grub". Look at using a small “Cutting Edge Jighead 1/16 to ¼” depending on the need.
How to Jig for Trout?The “Balty Minnow" and "Bobbers ”and can also be jigged in deep water. If the baitfish school is deep, often a sounder is needed to identify the schooling baitfish. Let the lure sink to the bottom and retrieve with a jerking motion around the strike zone and let drop and repeat the action. The darting and flashing are important to success.
