Fall Trout Fishing 2 Amazing Trout Fishing Tactics

In this article I will outline a couple of fall trout fishing tactics that have been productive for me over the past twenty five years of fishing. My favorite season for trout fishing is the fall. The weather is nice, the water is usually at a nice level, the rivers and streams are not very crowded, and the trout are hungry as they stock up on food before the cold days of winter set in.

These two trout fishing tactics have always worked particularly well for me in the fall. One of the tactics is for spinners and the other is for live worms. As far as trout fishing tactics are concerned, these are as effective as you will find. Both tactics are best employed in the flowing waters of a small to medium sized river. The type of river where wading is usually necessary for effective fishing.
Let's get down to the tactics so that you can add them to your trout fishing arsenal sooner, rather than later.

1. The Rooster Tail Technique - This tactic is the spinner technique. Although any spinner can be used, my favorite has always been the Rooster Tail spinner. I have always found that darker colors are more effective and in rivers where small frogs are present, green (frog pattern) Rooster tails are a good choice. Basically you want to match the color as much as possible to food sources that occur naturally in the body of water you are fishing. You want to use a bit bigger sizes when trout fishing in the fall, such as 1/16 ounce to ¼ ounce. It's also a good idea to add a barrel swivel to your line to prevent line twist and damage to your line. Split shot sinkers are then added for weight above the barrel swivel. Cast your Rooster Tail parallel to the current, snapping your rod tip is it flows. Then as you reach the end of the drift reel the Rooster Tail in, "snapping" the rod tip as you reel. The erratic "snapping" action elicits a strike in many instances.

3. The Gang Hook Technique - This trout fishing tactic involves the use of worms (preferably live worms although synthetic worms are effective as well). Incidentally the best way to carry live worms while river fishing is a bait bag, which is a small pouch that hangs from you vest and carries your worms and makes baiting up and re-baiting very easy. Of the two fall trout fishing tactics, this is my personal favorite. Begin by taking the end of your line and tying on a small barrel swivel. Then on the other end of the barrel swivel tie on a set of gang hooks. A live worm (which has been pinched in half in the case of large worms) is then added to the set of gang hooks. Now split shot sinkers are added for weight above the barrel swivel. The goal to this tactic is to have your offering flow naturally with the current as it "rolls" along the bottom. With practice, this trout fishing technique is flat out deadly in the fall of the year.

Both have these trout fishing tactics have helped me catch many trout over the years, and in the fall, many trophy trout. This time of year seems to be best time of the year to catch large trout, and the beauty of nature is hard to beat in the fall, so get out there and put these trout tactics into practice for yourself.
