Trout

[C.green 3,231]

Anyone got any good little setups/bait for catching trout from a tiny shallow ginclear chalk stream ? Used minnow and free lined bread but can't seem to get them taking of the top lately. Plenty there good sizes too

Bubble float an fly haha

Everyone says this but I've never had much luck with it tbh.

Try a little fly rod with a white moth dry fly?

[C.green 3,231]

That fly fishing is not abit of me lads lol it's a free stretch I walk/jog the dogs down every morning and evening just take me little telescopic and a loaf of bread normally but they seem wise to it now. It's not stocked and most fish get chucked back. Seems abit shallow for a spinner I know nothing about flies or fly fishing the flies I'm using I found on the bank one day in a little grey box honestly couldn't tell you what they are lol

I'm not much of a fly fisherman but these few flys seem to work down my way-don't ask me what they called lol.atb dc

Bait choice mightn't be your problem , it might be presentation in the gin clear water you describe.

In such water it's near impossible to hide line and hooks.

Worms mate, float them down and be ready

I use gadgers on the river Clyde in Scotland and they are deadly ?

I got one today with half a worm on the hook and a shot up the line. I'm still new to this and trying to fond the best way to bag em. And how to locate them. Example i went to a small brook today, never been, couldn't see anything,and there were a few deep bits on the bends. Every now and then there was a splash and im assuming it was trout taking the flys that were everywhere. Couldn't see them in the water as i say so. Fishing blind really.

Dry fly

[darrren 414]

For those brook trout? I always get told worm and a splitshot let drift down. I guess if you got a river full they will take it. Some people do amazing on handlines.
