Fall Trout Fishing Tips
Trout feed voraciously on almost everything they can and the approach of winter makes them all the more likely to snap down on lures; the bigger the better.
The best fishing lures for most fly fishersin the fall will be medium sized to large flies, streamers and epoxy minnows.
Larger prey guarantees trout can fill their bellies with as little effort as possible. The later the season gets, especially to the latter end of the fall, when trout approach breeding time, they will hit anything in their territorywith venom.
Deciding on which lure to use is ultimately down to you. Weather conditions and water clarity on the dayusually triggers our common sense to use bright colors for dark murky waters, whilst dark, natural colors works for clear waters, rivers and at depths.
Most of us understand that troutare wary fish at the best of times, which is why our fishing lures have to be presented as naturallyas trout see them every day. As the fall water temperatures begin plummeting, fish don’t chase the lures as they can in summer. Slowing your retrieve or adding a slight pause to your spoons, cranks and softbaits willdefinitely improve chances of good trout sport, as well as with other species throughout the fall season.
Another extremely good method for attracting and hooking more fall trout is to tie a fly, 15 to 20 cm’s ahead of the lure. Allegedly, to fish,the larger lure looks a small fish chasing after the fly.Twitching this kind of rig can also coax even cautious fish to the take. Whilst it may sound ridiculous, ask yourself if you’ve tried it before and give it a try. You have nothing to lose and perhaps a fish to gain.
