The best trout fishing bait you can use is the one that catches fish. Whether its bait casting, drifting or fly fishing, everyone has their own idea of which is the best trout fishing bait to use and it’s usually the one they caught fish with the last few times.
During the early part of the fishing season, when the fish are still a little groggy, or lazy, they may not be anxious to go after slow moving trout fishing bait. Small minnows seem to work best as they provide constant and perceivably provocative movement attracting the slow, yet hungry fish.
Night crawlers are still a popular trout fishing bait, as they are better for long casts with the right weight. Hook one end and let it fly. Trout will be attracted to the movement as long as the hook is not a one with a long shank, which is harder to hide. Worms are too light for long casts and often become dislodged, especially in swift moving water.
Hellgramites and insect larvae make excellent trout fishing bait for drift fishing, but do not work well for long casting. For artificial spinners and spoons a simple color-coding will help you get started. Colors of gold work for browns, silver for rainbows and copper for brook trout.
Silence Is Golden Around Trout Pools
Trout can be scared off by noise, so you will have to approach the pool quietly. Your boots are for keeping your feet dry, not for walking in the water, so stay on the shore while casting. It is possible to catch more than one fish out of a pool, but you’ll have to find another spot to fish once you have disturbed one.
If you’re using night crawlers as trout fishing bait try casting it upstream and let it float back to you. By beginning your casting downstream from your planning fishing pool you won’t scare the fish off. If you do it won’t matter what type trout fishing bait you use, they won’t be there to appreciate your offering.
If you’re looking for the larger fish, some veteran anglers use strips of chub meat or suckers. Using this trout fishing bait will lure the larger trout while turning away chub and suckers who may wander upon your line while in water that isn’t completely clear. Regardless of the trout fishing bait you use, the general guideline is to fish in the afternoon in the spring and early morning in the summer.
