River Fishing Trout Fill Up Your Frying Pan Tonight

River fishing for trout takes skill, grit and patience

. Nothing is better than coming home with a stringer full of trout after a long day at the frigid rivers edge.

In the springtime especially, trout are plentiful as they make their way through the fast moving, frigid run off in clear mountain streams. Fishing on the river for trout requires judgment skills as well as coordination for casting elegant lures through the air. If you are considering trying your hand at fishing for trout in a river, then here are a few things to think about beforehand. Fishing for trout looks a little bit like fly fishing. However, you dont always have to use a fly to catch a trout. Some fishermen still use live bait such as big, fat squirmy nightcrawlers to bait their river hooks and that is perfectly okay.

It is also okay to go ahead and use a trout fly as there are countless versions on the market. You can even make your own fly if you are crafty and like that kind of thing. An acceptable fly need not look 100% like the prey it is meant to mimic, as long as it is colorful or reflective, it will get the trouts attention and get you a bite.

One important consideration when you are river fishing for trout is that it is likely that your line will get tangled and snagged over and over again unless your tackle box is equipped with a barrel swivel. You hook a barrel swivel to one end of your line and then extend more line out from it.

The barrel swivel prevents your line from getting tangled and snagged and can save you hours of heartache and frustration. You also need to properly weight your line so that the bait reaches to near the bottom of the river. That is where the trout are often found. It is also important to remember to use a lightweight rod and reel and a lightweight fishing line when you are fishing for trout. River trout tend to be line-shy. That is, they avoid even coming near heavy-gauge fishing lines. Instead use a light line to complement a lightweight, flexible rod and reel set.

You will find that if you have the proper equipment then your trip to the river will be more successful and you can come home with more than just fish stories.
