Secrets Of Fall Trout Fishing

In this article, I'm going to provide a few secrets to fall trout fishing. Fall can be the best time of the year to catch trout (especially large trout) and these secrets will help you do just that. Before I list the actual secrets though, lets remember a few things about fishing in the fall. In the fall, the weather can change dramatically in most areas of the country, and being prepared for this makes for a much better fishing experience.
This is why layering is so important. Remember, it's easier to take off layers if you're too hot, than to put on layers that you don't have with you when you get cold. And don't forget about your hands. When fishing for trout in the fall, always remember to have a pair of fingerless gloves with you somewhere, just in case you need them. Nothing can ruin a fishing trip like cold hands, and a pair of fingerless gloves can help alleviate this problem.
In any case, lets get down to business. Below you will find the secrets of fall trout fishing, in no particular order. It would be impossible to say which is more important, so I'm just going to list them, and you can decide which of the secrets is best for you.

• Use Gang Hooks - Gang hooks are important in the fall of the year because they help you present your bait in the most natural way possible. Especially when it comes to fishing with live worms (which is quite effective in the fall of the year), gang hooks can't be beat. You should always have some pre-tied gang hooks in your fishing vest when trout fishing in the fall.
• Fish At The Proper Times - A secret to fall trout fishing is to make sure that you're fishing at the proper times. This means fishing when the weather and/or moon are most advantageous to fishing. How are you supposed to know this information? Simple. Simply research the weather, moon, and their relation to fishing. If you take a little bit of time and make sure that you're fishing at the proper times, it will make a huge difference in your catch rates.
• Be Efficient - Because the weather can be so unpredictable in the fall, a secret to trout fishing in the fall is to be as efficient as possible. The concept behind this secret is simple; the more time that you can spend with your line in the weather, the better. So you want to maximize your time by not having to search for bait or heavily used equipment. This is why accessories such as a bait bag (for carrying your worms), a rod ruler (for measuring your fish), and retractors for holding heavily used equipment make you so much more efficient. Imagine not having to search through your vest for your live worms or tape measure? How much more time would this give you with your line in the water, where the trout are?
• Enjoy The Solitude - This might not seem like a 'secret', but I assure you that it is. In the fall of the year many waterways throughout the country are much less crowded than at any other time of the year. Many people concentrate on activities other than trout fishing, which means that we anglers get the water almost to ourselves. Enjoy the solitude that fall trout fishing has to offer.

The bottom line is that the fall can be the best time to enjoy trout fishing, and these secrets will help you catch more fish. While other people are busy worrying about things like football and chasing animals in the woods, enjoy the great trout fishing that the fall has to offer. Not only is the fishing good in the fall, the scenery (in many areas of the country) isn't too bad either.
