 Fly fishing for trout can be an amazing adventure but there are things you need to know before you even put a line in the water. You don’t want to be wasting time casting in an area that has no fish. For trout, they usually feed near the surface only about 25% of the time. The rest of the time they are patrolling the bottom looking for minnows and insects. If you haven’t see any surface action, and you know there are trout there, then it’s most likely that they are bottom feeding. So let’s look at some trout fly fishing tips for your next outing.

1. Most flies float and you will require a split shot or small lead weight to help bring it closer to the bottom. Sinking line on an extra reel can also be of use since you can instantly change from floating to sinking line.

2. When fly fishing for trout it is extremely important to cast your line lightly and let it float gently to the water’s surface. Trout spook easily and even the sound of a hard fly hitting the surface is enough to signal them to scramble to safety.

3. To follow with tip #2, when you are on the back cast be sure not to let the line slap the water. Keep the line in the air at all times until ready to forward cast.

4. It is important to set the hook strong and fast when you feel any action. Trout will not give you a second chance and they do not suck on the bait like carp.

These 4 tips will definitely bring you closer to catching that trophy trout. The biggest secret is to stay quiet and be stealthy.
