Fishing for Trout and Salmon

Comments:

• paul needs some work with a net, poor guy could bearly get the lake trout
• When trolling for Lakers, 2 mph to 2 1/2 mph are perfect speeds. As for size, a size SP3, SP4, or SP5 Viper Spoon could be used, but size SP4 is perfect. It has just the right spoon size as well as 3/0 mustad ultra point hooks, which are a nice size for lakers. Just tip your Viper Spoon with an artificial or real minnow/chub/shad (smelt size) or a thin, long strip of cut bait & you'll do great. Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for writing in - good luck on the water and good fishing!
• Sounds like you had a great day on the water. Thanks for sharing & good fishing!
• Glad you liked the video. In lake superior, for trout, we would recommend a size SP1 or SP2 Viper Spoon with a real - or artificial minnow. Good luck on the water & thanks for writing in!

great video, i fish lake superior out of Marquette for lake trout and i love that idea of tipping the spoon with the minnow, definitely going to have to give that a try.

• for lurers use spinners and for bait u powerbait marshmallows or cut open a trout and use the kind of bugs they have in there stomach
• Most trout take minnows, worms, roe, insects, maggots as natural bait. Artificials include crankbaits, flies, jigs, soft plastics, spoons, spinners. Lake trout will also take cut-bait. Thanks & good fishing!
• Good luck out there..try going out deeper...if you fish in the 20 foot range, you'll catch more smallmouth than you will trout. Thanks for writing in & good fishing!

How To Choose A Fishing Rods And Reels

Leaning how to choose the right fishing rod and reel is the first step in discovering a fun and relaxing new hobby. Fishing tackle is the term used to describe the equipment fishermen use to catch fish. The pole is the simplest piece of fishing tackle and may be made of inexpensive materials like cane and bamboo, or more expensive materials like fiberglass.

When you choose the right fishing rod and reel to use, you need to consider what type of fisherman you want to be and what type of water you will be fishing in. Equipment failure when you are about to land the big one is not fun.

Saltwater Fishing

Fishing tackle for saltwater fishing cannot be made with any aluminum, steel or iron parts because the saltwater will corrode them. They must be stainless steel or nickel. If you are saltwater fishing inshore, use ultra-light equipment. For deep-sea fishing, much larger and heavier tackle is necessary.

Ice Fishing

Ice fishing requires specialized equipment. Rods between onef oot and three feet in length are used. Simple reels hold the line. Some ice fishermen choose to use tip-ups which fit over the hole they have cut in the ice, and when a fish hits a lever releases and a flag tips up and alerts the fisherman.

Other Types

Other type of fishing include still fishing, drift fishing, bait casting and fly fishing to name a few. There are four types of rods and reels to be considered when choosing the right fishing rod and reel for any of these types of fishing.

Spincasting

Spincasting is great for beginners . The rod has a straight handle and small line guides. The reel is attached to the top of the handle and the line comes out of a small hole in the cover on the front of the reel.

Spinning Rods and Reels

Spinning rods have a straight handle also, but the line guides are larger and on the bottom of the rod. The spool is not covered allowing the fishing line to release faster so it casts farther.

Baitcasting

A baitcasting rod can have either a straight handle or a grip like a pistol. The reel and line guides are mounted on top of the rod. line spool turns as you cast and must be controlled properly to avoid snarls. This is probably not the right fishing rod and reel for a beginner.

Flyfishing

Flyfishing tackle is different from all other types. The reel is used only to store the line. Rods are chosen by weight. A rod with a smaller number will cast a shorter distance. How far you want to cast depends on where you are fishing.
