Fall Trout Fishing Secrets

There is no time of the year that can compare with the fall when it comes to trout fishing. Not only is the scenery as good as it gets, trout in rivers and streams seem to be as susceptible to fishing as they are at any time of the year. This is especially true with larger, more experienced trout. I've caught most of my "trophy" trout while fishing in the fall of the year.
In this article I'm going to outline some fall trout fishing secrets that have been served me well over the past twenty five years. Add these secrets to your trout fishing repertoire sooner rather than later and start experiencing more trout fishing success. The secrets are being listed in no particular order.
Let's get down to business, shall we?

1. Be Prepared - In the fall of the year the weather can change quickly. Even though many times afternoons are very comfortable, mornings and evenings can get quite chilly in the fall. When it comes to fall trout fishing secrets, layering you clothing and having hand protection is extremely important. Even though you won't wear them all the time having a pair of fingerless gloves (like Wristies) is a great idea when fall trout fishing. Wristies keep your hands warm while providing you the unfettered use of your fingers for tying knots, feeling your line, and releasing trout.
2. Present Bait Properly - What do I mean by present bait properly? Simply that you want to present your bait in the most natural way possible. The bottom line is that you want your bait to look as much like it dies in nature as possible. This means using gang hooks when using bait such as live worms. Bait is very effective in the fall and this is certainly one of the best fall trout fishing secrets that I have to offer. As a matter of fact this tip is effective when trout fishing at any time of the year, but especially during the fall.
3. Use Larger Baits - Whether you are bait fishing or fishing with a lure, the fall is the time of the year to use a bit larger sized bait. For example, rather than a 1/32 ounce Rooster Tail, during the fall use a ¼ ounce Rooster tail and rather than pinching that night crawler in half, use a larger set of gang hooks and use the whole worm. Since larger trout are more susceptible to being caught in the fall, don't be afraid to use larger baits than you normally would.

These fall fishing secrets will serve you well for many years to come. Take the next opportunity that you have to get out there and catch some nice trout before the winter sets n and trout fishing becomes a memory.
