Small River And Stream Fishing Tips

If you're anything like me, there are few things better than pulling on your waders for a fishing trip on a small river or stream. The sound of the water, the smell of the air, just being in the presence of Nature, I'm not sure what draws me to small river and stream fishing, but the point is I love it. In this article I'm going to outline some tips and techniques that will help you become much more successful when fishing in small rivers and streams.
The first thing to discuss is the clothing you wear. When fishing in and around small river and streams it's very important not to "stand out". The fish in these types of waterways are very cognizant of their surroundings and if they notice you, they are much less apt to bite. In fact, you can easily "spook" an entire area fairly easily which means that nothing will bite. For this reason, you want to make sure that you wear drab clothing that doesn't make you stick out like a sore thumb. When fishing in small river and/or streams, don't wear "loud" clothing.

The next time you go catfish fishing be sure to take a casting net. It is how I get the best catfish bait for big cats. If you don't know how to throw one don't worry about. You can pick it up in an hour or two of practice. Once you have it down you won't forget it.

Why do you need a casting net to get the best catfish bait for big cats? Because you want fresh live bait. Just about any species will do but be sure to check your states regulations on live bait. My favorites are bluegill and shad but bluegill are illegal in some states. Both are abundant in just about any waterway. Also don't rule out bullhead catfish as Flatheads and Blues don't seem to have a problem eating their own species. In fact, Flatheads will often times prefer Bullhead over Shad.

The Best Bait For Trout Fishing

In this article I'm going to discuss some of the most effective baits to use while fishing for trout in order to determine the best bait for trout fishing. Is this possible? Is it possible that there's a "best" bait for trout fishing? I'm not entirely sure, but after fishing for these wonderful fish for more than 25 years I can honestly say that some are certainly better than others, and one in particular is certainly my favorite.
Before I get into the trout baits themselves, it's important to know the type of trout that you're attempting to catch. Not the species of fish, but the kind of trout. There are two basic kinds. Stocked (or planted) and native. Stocked trout are placed into the river or lake by the governments' fish & game department. Native trout on the other hand were born and live in the water in which they reside. Actually stocked trout can become native after living in said body of water for an extended period of time (2 or more years).

The Best Bait For Bass Fishing

The best bait for bass fishing is a good question. Especially around this time of the year. Oh yes! It's that time of the year again, the birds are chirping, the weather is warm, and the bass are jumping. I love the spring!
Spring is the time of the year when bass are spawning, making it much easier to find them. They can be found in the shallow areas of a lake or pond. Any structure in the shallow parts is also a plus. For example around docks and fallen trees.
Now that the hardest part of catching big bass is taken care of, finding the location of them that is. But another tricky part, which is where most 90% of Anglers fail to do correctly is catch them. They can see them, but they just can't catch them.
So how exactly do you catch bass? With bait of course...but which baits to use is another question.

The Best Trout Bait?

What is the best trout bait? There are so many possibilities that it's difficult to pin down one as the best. There's corn, cheese, and marshmallows but those seem weird to me. To me they simply don't seem like something that fish, especially the trout I love so much, should eat. In reality they don't, stocked trout do. To me stocked trout are kind of like those goldfish in the pet store. I simply don't like the fact that stocked trout are raised in an aquarium, and then released so that we can "catch" them. But I suppose the point is that they do eat those 3 baits. The other point is that no matter what I think about stocked trout, when the rivers are too high to fish, I go to my local lake and catch them. So I suppose when it comes to stocked trout, I'm a bit of a hypocrite.

Small Stream Fly Fishing Tips

Fishing for Trout in a small creek or stream differs a lot from days out on a lake or larger river. Most differences come in the form of size and textures of your flies, but there are some details that are overlooked. Here are the top four overlooked strategies when it comes to fly fishing the smaller tributaries.
Don't pre-judge size
Often times people tend to think the smaller the river the smaller the bait. This is not necessarily true. Last year, on a fishing trip with one of my friends who is an outstanding dry fly fisher, I was reminded of this valuable lesson. On this trip we were to be fishing a tributary to one of my favorite rivers. I thought that this would be an average fishing day, with no particularly large trout, but that soon changed when he brought out a twenty one inch cut-throat in the first few casts, and numerous good sized fish after that. After hours of me fishing with my ordinary tackle and coming up empty handed, I asked him what he was using. He showed me a size ten salmon fly. I thought this was ridiculous for that size of creek, but I tried the behemoth fly and on the fourth cast landed a twenty inch brown trout. This will remain a lesson I will never again forget.

Here are a few fly fishing tips.
Problem: The Fly. Are the fish interested in your fly. And if not, why not?
Well, here are a few things to consider.
1. Are there any rising fish. If not, a dry fly is not going to get you anywhere. Locate the fish and use a wet fly to get down to them.
2. Does your fly smell unnatural to the fish? Rinse your hands in the water and dry them before handling the fly. Fish have very good sense of smell and if your fly smells of smoke for instance, the fish won't take it.

6 Fly Fishing Tips for Beginners

1. Always buy (or make) two flies of each type, size and color: it's so irritating to have found the winning fly on a particular day only to lose it in an overhanging tree.
2. If you can't match the natural flies and nymphs perfectly, don't worry too much - it's how the fly behaves in the water that matters just as much as how it looks.
3. Always try to think how the natural fly does behave, and attempt to make your artificial work in the same sort of way. So don't twitch methodically, but vary how you retrieve your fly. Put a bit of imagination into it, and concentrate all the time. Results will rocket.
4. It's probably true to say that 90 percent of takes are never even guessed at by the angler. A trout can swim up, suck in a fly, and then reject it without the angler having a clue what's happened. For this reason, keep everything tight to the fly and watch both your line and your leader with hawk-like concentration. Strike if you think anything is a miss, and you can often be rewarded.

Top Tuna Fishing Lures

Tuna are powerful saltwater fish that are highly prized source of food. Some species of tuna can weigh over 1000 pounds and are widely distributed around the world. Sport fishermen consider tuna to be the ultimate big game sport fish to catch and very few anglers will get a chance to catch these monsters due to accessibility and over fishing commercially have reduced the stock dramatically. Some of the top producing tuna lures are the artificial squid and feather jigs.
One of the best methods of tuna fishing is trolling from a boat. Trolling requires heavy lures and can be done with natural bait or artificial lures. Daisy chains and spread bar rigs are two great producers for tuna fishing. The daisy chain rigs are used to attract game fish. The lures are rigged together into strings and trolled at different speed depending on the conditions. The chain simulates a school of baitfish and usually the last bait has a hook hidden inside it. Many anglers like to use ballyhoo, herring and artificial squid as bait for this type of rig. If you are new to the sport, you can buy ready-rigged daisy chains at the tackle shop.

Unfortunately, attracting and actually catching tuna is a lot harder than most people imagine. Before you spend hundreds of dollars trolling around the ocean catching nothing, here are three tuna fishing techniques to consider before you even leave the dock.

This pattern consists of 2 long lines held out on each outrigger, 2 shorter lines held out flat and one deep line straight down the middle. Additionally, it is helpful to display a flashy presentation of multiple lures. The more they splash, sparkle and shine the better. What you want is to trick the tuna into thinking that it has stumbled across a panicked school of bait fish.

Using Salmon Fishing Lures

Salmon is a relative of trout fish and belongs to the same family Salmonidae. They differ in bearing the fact that salmon is a migrating fish while trout prefers to stay in their original habitat. Salmon resides along the coastlines of North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with some residing in the Northern America Great Salt Lakes. The Salmo salar species settle themselves in the North Atlantic coastal area, while about a dozen members of the genus Oncorhynchus dwell in the Pacific Ocean.
Being an anadromous migrating fish, they lay eggs and born in freshwater streams, then migrate to the open ocean to get sexually mature and then return to the very same spot of the freshwater stream where they were born to reproduce. But how this strong memory works remains unrevealed and still being debated among scientist.

I have also used tuna balls up river after fishing a hole for 15 to 20 minutes without success using eggs, switch to tuna balls and have had guys in my boat catch salmon. Tuna balls work and here is how you can make them:

Small Mouth Bass - Surefire Lures And Foods They Can't Resist!

The two foods small mouth bass love above and beyond all others are live minnows and crayfish. They will on occasion eat larger fish and other organic manner. But by and far their preferred food is live minnows and crayfish.
Of course when a small mouth bass is especially hungry, it will eat anything in the vicinity resembling food. In situations where it's preferred food is scarce, small moth bass have eaten crickets, moths, grasshoppers and other insects. However, this fish is usually a very picky eater and prefers chasing and eating live minnows and crayfish.

It has also been said that small mouth bass eat a lot of frogs as well. This is more than likely not true. Frogs live in marshy places or near weed beds. Typically there is little or no current flowing and the bottom is covered with several inches of slime and mud littered with dead branches and sunken logs. The water in these types of places is stagnant, dirty, and warm. Small mouth bass prefer cool, clear and flowing water. However these places make excellent large mouth bass habitat who lie in the mud close to shore and eat large amounts of frogs.
Crayfish, which make up a large part of the small mouth bass diet, unfortunately doesn't make good bait. For whatever reason, it is very difficult to catch these fish using hooked crayfish as bait. It doesn't seem to matter how the crayfish bait is presented, the fish refuse to accept it.

Small Mouth Bass - Where To Find Them!

Small mouth bass prefer clean, cool water. Unlike large mouth bass, small mouth bass thrive in water flowing over clean sand and rock. You will not normally find them in weed beds or muddy pools unless food is scarce or they become frightened by storms.
In rivers and streams, if you approach quietly with care, on a bright day you'll be able to see the fish suspended in mid-stream with their heads pointed into the oncoming current. This is where they thrive, in clean, moving well aerated water. An excellent place to cast is under a low hanging branch near the bank, especially behind a log or other obstruction that creates an eddy pool.
In small lakes small mouth bass can usually be found anywhere there is the slightest sign of water movement. The best place to check first is where creeks or small streams enter the lake. Especially if the water entering the lake is clear and cool, you'll find them holding at the entrance of these creeks and streams for days. Other good places to check for small mouth bass are anywhere eddies are forming; in narrow channels, around sunken logs and large rocks. In other words, anywhere water is moving, curling or being agitated.

There is a perfect rod for every type of fishing, and it is important to choose the right one.
