Finding Fish – Trout
Fishing Tip (Finding Fish – Trout) – Trout Shelters
If you aren’t getting any bites on the river
try this: look for white and tumbling water
for dark surface areas. Trout like to hide in
these shelters. They like to hang out in
these spots because food is washed into
them and the fish can rest without battling
the current all the time.
Use the shoreline because you have to get
in close. You also have to find out how to
avoid detection by the fish. Float a dry fly
or manipulate a spinner in a manner
intended for these lures — a feat that is
almost impossible when fishing with long
lines and fast water.
Anytime a trout ignores flies floated over,
try dangling one from the side of a rock.
The fly has the advantage of being free
from conflicting currents, and also touches
the water lightly for brief intervals. It has
the look of a natural insect and is deadly to
the trout.
