Leader Trout

Basic Trout Fishing Tactics

One of the great trout fishing times I can remember is fishing for steelhead in the middle of Lake Michigan. Here we were fishing the top 25ft of water in 400ft of water for steelhead. I live in a small town on Lake Michigan and have had the opportunity to fish not only Lake Michigan but also Lake Huron and Lake Superior.

I started out about 30 to 35 years ago in the Northport area fishing for lake trout. These Lake Trout were in 100 to 125 feet of water. This was before the introduction of salmon so the idea of down riggers was not even thought of and at the time I didn't even have wire line as that came later for me. Our first down riggers were home made. We used 8 or 10 inch pulleys and wire that some of the fisherman used to troll with. I don't even remember how we mounted them but they did work. We would take an open faced spinning reel with 12 to 15 pound test line and then attach cowbells onto the end of the line with a lure 18 to 24 inches behind the cowbells. To get the cowbells down on the bottom we put a three-way swivel between the main line and the cowbells, then we would attach a 18 inch leader with five bell sinkers to the three-way swivel. This would usually get the bait down to the lake bottom.

You would know if you were on the bottom by feeling the bell sinker bounce along the bottom. You need to on the bottom because Lake Trout usually stay near the bottom.

Cowbells were used as a attractor to attract lake trout. They consisted of a string of blades 18 to 24 inches in length and the blades were usually silver in color. You drag these along the bottom with the sinkers kicking up a little sand and you can catch Lake Trout.

That was tough fishing back then but today with down riggers and a great selection of lures and all of our new electronic equipment it is much easier. By the way even with all that trouble we did catch Lake trout and after that the salmon were introduced, but that is another story.

One last note about our trout fishing sport. One important thing that must be done is to ensure our great fishery is protected. That means not only impose strict rules and regulations on the companies of the world today to protect our environment but also see to it that our governments enact strict regulations on the shipping companies, so they do not release any evasive aquatics into our waterways, such as the Great Lakes ( the world's largest supply of freshwater).

Have a nice day and catch lots of fish.

When dry fly fishing.What is the best line to use for leaders on a still water lough for trout?

I use a 4lb flurocarbon leader but have"nt had a lot of success with it.Just wondering what everyone else would use?

In my younger days, I used floating line, green, plus a 8 or 9 foot long tapered mono filament leader line. Some days I would use the 4 pound tip for smaller trout, greyling. And if I began to loose to many fish while still attached to my fly,( size 16 to 18 work better than the size 14 found in many stores ), I would continue tying flies to my line anyway as tying back always provided me with stronger line. Being frugal has it's limits though. Once the line would not thread through the fly's eye, I would retie another tapered leader, but with a couple pounds stronger end for tying on dry flys.

The tapered leaders present dry flys easier than using straight mono line. Mono is cheaper to use, but takes a bit more work to learn how to present on water in a straight line. It can be done. All you have to to is practice/learn.

I mentioned using the smaller and more expensive dry flies. Trout and greyling at least in Alaska take these flies more readily than the size 14 flies. Buy/try different flies/patterns. Some have interesting names and histories! And most mimic insect hatching's that happen spring, early, mid, late summer, early, mid. late fall.

Dry fly imitations of insects are only a portion of what fish attempt to feed on. There are a number of wet flies that imitate insects in their larval form living in the water column or on the gravel surface.
Buy wet flies that best match the color of the gravel or mud where you fly fish.
Some bottoms are brownish, tanish, greenish. Some have Mud. Some are gravel.

Then there are the fish egg imitations, single egg, egg clusters.
Streamer flys. Etc.

Fly presentation may help you also. Making the line/fly land upstream and letting fly either float downstream naturally, by following fly with rod tip and/or stripping out fly line at the same time to match current flow works.
Or let line straighten out and then fly leaves a awake as it is pushed by the current down stream
On lakes or very slow moving bodies of water, you supply the flys movement by stripping in line. That is grasping fly line near the nearest line guide ring nearest to the reel. Or by lifting rod tip up and in the direction you hope fly will take.

And there is working the fly line smoothly in a classic "s" pattern over head. With practice you will have your fly still attached to the line as it lands just where you wanted it to! Even in winds! I did mention practice? As in lots of. And patience. And learning from mistakes.

Then there is fly fishing styles dictated by the kind of foot gear you use. Shoes, knee rubber boots for onshore fishing. And rubber hip boots, chest waders for fishing attempts nearer fish.
I have found fly fishing works best a bit farther away from what you want to catch. Something about fishes personal space and preserving its feeling of just another beautimous day to be alive, eating good food, having the waters all to itself and its friends. And not being scared of some big animal nearby that may try to kill/eat it. Or at least make it hide with the idea of feeding later and getting along with its life once the big"it" goes away.
