Colorado Trout Fishing Techniques
from: Kyle BesserOne of the most well known places to fish for trout is Colorado. Do you know the best Colorado trout fishing techniques to help you have a successful run every fishing day?
There are different trout fishing techniques which may be used in Colorado trout fishing. If you are going trout fishing in Colorado, chances are you will want to use one of these trout fishing techniques but which of these Colorado trout fishing techniques, and how? How do you know when you use each of these Colorado trout fishing techniques? The basic Colorado trout fishing techniques are:
Drift Trout Fishing
As a general rule, drift trout fishing can be used in pretty much any condition and still be effective. The great thing about drift trout fishing is that it allows you to cover a large area of the water and present the bait to a larger number of trout, increasing your chances of getting a bite. Remember to only use just enough bait to cover the hook and no more.
You can start drift trout fishing by using a split shot approximately 12 to 24 inches from your hook. Adjust to water conditions accordingly. Use a larger split shot and longer leader for deeper fast moving water and use a small treble or salmon hook. Cast upstream from the fish and slowly reel in the slack line as the current pushes it downstream.
One thing about drift trout fishing is that trout tend to bite lightly so you really have to be paying attention to notice or you may lose your opportunity to snag one. Trout are often very particular about what they like to eat. You may fish in the same area two days in a row and have the trout enjoy the bait one day and dislike the same type of bait the next day. You can sometimes save yourself some time if you find out what other fishermen in the area are using. Also, try different colors of bait if one seems to not be working.
Float Trout Fishing
Float trout fishing is similar to drift trout fishing but when float trout fishing, you use a floater (bobber) with it as well. Adjust your floater according to the depth of the trout in the water. Set the hook when you see a sudden movement on your floater indicating a bite.
Jig Trout Fishing
Jigs are a type of artificial lure that are very popular. Jigs come in a variety of sizes (1/16 ounce to 1/256th of an ounce) and colors. Effective colors in jig trout fishing are yellow, olive, white, black, brown or a combination of colors. Immediately set the hook when you feel a strike on your lure. Avoid setting the hook on sight alone and rely more on feel. Like with the bait, you can experiment with different colors to find what is working best on a certain day.
Bottom Trout Fishing
Bottom trout fishing may be the easiest yet effective method for Colorado trout fishing. Don't try bottom trout fishing in high water. Use your polarized glasses to spot trout in slow moving water. Rigging consists of using the desired hook with bait and crimping the appropriate split shot 12 to 24 inches above the hook. Cast your line upstream from the fish and let the bait settle to the bottom.
