tips on trout fishing

[028butlerboy 0]

i use big ole pike plugs for rainbows mate, separates the big uns fae the fry

 

A "big ole pike plug" to me is 12+" in length, not really a good lure for trout, whereas a small plug like a 2-3" rapala or big S would be more suited.

 

Or try a mepps spinner they always produce the goods for me!!

 

is there any particular breed of rapala, there are that many of them on the market its hard to know which does what

Team Esko brown trout pattern (it imatates small fry really well) but be warned i have had large pike on this lure in the past!!

whats wrong with just toby's and mepps??? it's trout fishing not rocket science lads. depending on the legality's over in ireland you can try minnows.

i was merely asking what are good baits to use as it has been ages since i fished for trout.

i meant everyone else niall. tazmanian devils are decent enough for stocky bashing in deep places as well.

[terrier s 123]

try broken back minnows if you can get your hands on them

[mighty celt 996]

silver and blue mep 2 allways does the trick.but u cant beat the old worm for trout,cant fish with minnow no more over here

no worries, i have a stupid question reguarding the tasmanian devil.

i do have 1 that has never been used and is siting in my box. as for getting it down to the depths do i just add weight up the line ??

dont add wieght to them. you spin them around on the trace to alter how they fish. just give them a countdown before you start your retrieve if its deep.

probarbly a stocked trout water(with 4 strains being in the lake). Shouldnt imagine they allow worms. If so, he'd take the place apart. Probarbly best bait available, other than livebait..
