Trout Fishing Blues

There are all kinds of baits that can be used for catching trout. Everything from home made recipes tried and true in local ponds and lakes to technologically advanced super baits made in labs and extensively tested in tanks. But despite all the super dough baits and artificial irresistable action lures, sometimes when it comes down to it, nothing beats an old fashioned worm.

Worms are especially effective when the lures and dough baits just don’t seem to be bringing the fish in. It really is all natural and no trout can deny that.

Part of the success with using nighcrawlers is using it in the proper rig.

There’s the classic sliding sinker setup, using a small hook, about 8 inches of leader depending on the water conditions and a sliding egg sinker. In most cases trout fisherman will inflate their worms to keep them off the ground so that the trout can better see the worms. Remember line is key so keep it 2-4 lb. test line.

Another easy rig is simply using a small worm hook, a 8-12 inch leader and a slip shot sinker. This is usefull when trying to keep the tackle light, however you might not cover a lot of distance with the light gear, this is usefull when fishing off of boats. A nice trick in addition to the tackle is slowly jerking or jigging the worm with this setup.

Lastly a popular rig used in lakes is the slip bubble rig. You take a clear slip bubble float (the kind you fill with water) and use it in a egg slider rig, but instead of using the egg sinker, you use the bubble instead. Throw the line out let it sink and slowly retrieve the line. This is especially useful and highly effective when fishing drop offs. Cast the line out where is starts to bank, let it sink and bring it in slowly as it “climbs” down the bank.

This is a fun and a nice change to bait fishing if the cast and wait method gets a bit boring.

DOANE POND

Doane Pond is located in Palomar Mountain State Park in San Diego County (CA California). The great thing about Doane Pond is that you can fish for trout all summer long, meaning year round trout fishing in Southern California, which is a real treat. Although the pond is a bit too small for boats, after your first experience you’ll agree that it’s a great place to fish, the only downside being there is no night fishing and there is limited shore space. It’s stocked several times a year by the DFG and yes, you do need a California fishing license.

Trout Fishing Doane Pond is simple. Rainbow Powerbait, your choice of float rig off the bottom, sliding egg sinker, split shot, it’s up to you.

Fishing hours are from 6:00am to sunset.

There is a day fee as well as a camping fee.

Aside from being a popular ski resort town, Mammoth also has a secret of its own in the spring and summer. The Trout Fishing. As May draws to a close the snow starts to melt and reveal beautiful bodies of pristine water. Those who are disatisfied with murky, hot weather usually found in lower elevation, California waters will find the Mammoth Lakes Basin to be a gift from Mother Nature herself.

Mammoth is also home to Alpers Trout. As stated in the previous post, Alpers are a one of kind, hand fed, and specially bred pedigree of trout that people from all over the world come to experience. Although frequent plants are made by the DFG, Alpers plants are gold in a sense that they allow the chance for many people to pull in lunkers. Landing Alpers Trout over 6 pounds is a common sight and what a sight it is.

The Twin Lakes, both Upper and Lower start as an excellent starting point when venturing through the basin. Twin lakes doesn’t allow motor boats but they offer row boats (it’s ok, the lake isn’t that big) and access to float tubers. Fishing is accessible from all parts of the lake. Those in boats will find it best to cast out from open water to the edge of the aquatic plants that grow heavily in the summer. Those with flies can do the same, the water fall also provides an excellent cover for brookies.

If the Mammoth Lakes Basin is something you haven’t tried yet, then you have yet to experience some serious still water Trout Fishing in California.

Trout Fishing Blues Presents Alpers Trout.

The name is legendary. Those who come to the Eastern Sierras to fish are very familiar with the name. These aren’t your typical DFG Trout. These are hand fed, rather large and tasty, fighting trout bred in the waters of the Owens River Ranch.

Although originally a cattle ranch since the 1900’s, Tim Alpers and his father started their rainbow trout farming in 1971, mainly to keep a stock with their family ponds, but their size and popularity put them in high demand in the local waters.

It takes about three years to raise the 2 to 3 pound beauties, but the size doesn’t stop there. Local anglers will tell you that bringing up 9 to 15 pound Alpers is not uncommon. Visiting the Eastern Sierra waters will find you in front of pictures of anglers from all over the country wielding their trophy catches.

Alpers stocks over 60,000 pounds annually from the Northern Mono County down to the Southern Inyo County. They are exclusive to the Eastern Sierra’s, meaning if you want to try your hand at these trout, you’re going to have to come visit and see for yourself.

Those of you serious about catching Alpers Trout may also want to pick up this ebook - packed with great information and tips on trout fishing in streams, rivers and lakes; and invaluable resource especially when fishing the Eastern Sierra’s for Alper’s Trout.

Trout Fishing Blues

Trout Fishing in the Summer can be tough, and in some places impossible, but there still is hope.

Trout experts at this time will still find themselves with a full stringer, especially those who know how to get into the depths of the water. Trollers will find that using their favorite lures behind 4 to 8 colors of leadcore line to be an effective approach.

Dams and other deep pockets of water are excellent sources of getting to those cool hiding spots the remaining trout will find refuge in. Large chunks of power bait and nightcrawlers or a combination of both will draw them out of the dark, it just takes patience.

Good Luck.

GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) — The cold, clear water of LeConte Creek cascades over moss-covered boulders, lingers momentarily in small pools skirted by dense rhododendron, then rushes on through the hemlock, poplar, birch and maple forest. It’s here and in a handful of other streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that the brook trout - the only trout native to the eastern United States and more specifically to the southern Appalachians - is making a comeback.

Imperiled from Georgia to Maine by decades of pollution, poor land management and competition from nonnative brown and rainbow cousins, “brookies” are regaining a foothold in the country’s most visited national park on the Tennessee-North Carolina line.

For those seeking Trout Fishing Information, Tips and Techniques!

Trout Fishing Information is often hard to come by, especially on the west coast and those who fish on lakes. There’s plenty of information on fly fishing in rivers and streams, but for the rest of us who don’t have that luxury I’ll be trying to gather and share as much information as possible. Unlike bass fisherman who remain secretive with their information, Trout fisherman are very open about their information, however, they are well aware that there is plenty of skill involved, something that cannot be openly shared, simply experienced, and of course, knowledge is power, and the Trout Fishing Information found here I hope will be a valuable tool to all those who come visit the site.
