But only if you use diving wobblers on trout, you can achieve excellent results. True fishermen know that it is pleasant to catch this individual not only because of its taste, but also for aesthetic pleasure. Therefore, some of them adhere to the principle of "caught - let go."

- The construction of the rod is not of particular importance and is chosen to the taste of the fisherman.
- The diameter of the fishing line should not exceed 0.25 mm.
- Coils in this case are preferable to the conditional size 1 ... 2.

Catching this specimen on a special paste
Trout is a gourmet fish. What horrible she does not bite. As a result, it is hard enough to please her. Trout paste is quite common in fishing shops. This is a good bait for this individual. Berkley trout paste has proven itself among fishermen. She has a very pronounced smell of fish and shrimp. That is, all that trout loves. The specified company and other manufacturers have in their assortment several types of this substance. For instance:
- Floating pasta. Here the name speaks for itself. It has a lifting function. If its quantity is not enough for you, then you can always add a foam ball to it.
- Sinking pasta. Always have it with you. After all, trout is unpredictable fish. And in a day changes its tastes. That is, it can switch from a surface type of nutrition to feeding at the bottom.

The use of trout paste
Consider the use of this substance in several cases. Namely:
- With the help of bombards, you will get excellent trout fishing on pasta. This equipment in this case is a good option. However, there is a certain condition. It lies in the fact that in this regard, it is best to use floating paste in conjunction with sinking bombers. The principle of operation here is quite simple. That is, the bombard drowns, and the paste pops up. Applying the wiring with pauses, you can decently increase the catch.
- Donka. This is a fairly effective adaptation in a process such as fishing for trout on pasta. Equipment in this case requires certain conditions. Namely, it is necessary to make long leashes (50-100 m) and leave a distance between them of about a meter. If you use a floating paste, the hooks will rise up and will be in free movement. This will attract the attention of even the most cautious and lazy trout.
- With ordinary float gear. In this case, if floating paste is used, then the ball will float from it in water. At the same time, it will be held only with the help of cargo. This will ensure the involvement of the specified individual and provoking it to attack actions.
In general, trout fishing for pasta is one of the most effective fishing methods.
Lures
In this regard, there are many different devices. But the most effective and common ones are wobblers, oscillators and spinners. They are the most suitable devices in this case. Let's consider them in more detail:
- Spinner for trout fishing. Its dimensions should not be large (No. 0-4). The main requirement for spinners is a good and constant game both adrift and on it. It should be noted that when using these devices quite often overlaps can occur. As a result, you need to use a leash or swivel. To increase the number of bites, you can replenish the baubles with twisters or flies.
- Wobblers on trout. It is also an effective device. Anglers argue that fishing for trout on wobblers depends on the speed of their game. The lower it is, the more likely it is to get a trophy. It is necessary in your arsenal to have several types of such baits that work on slow wiring. Wobbler imitating trout is a great success. Since this individual often drives away alien fish from its territory. This leads her to the bait. For shallow ponds suitable "Rapal" wobblers. They also bear great resemblance to trout. Do not forget about the use of micro-wobblers in this case. Catching on these devices is very convenient. After all, you can always pull it up or let it go, without performing a second cast and without scaring away the fish.
- Oscillators for trout fishing. Although these spinners are not so often used, but they still justify themselves remarkably. Usually small spinners of this type are used. For example, “Kastmaster” weighing several grams works very well with trout.
- Spinner Bates. They are American gear. These are quite effective devices.
Catching this individual on payers
Trout a few years ago was exotic for Rossi. And now she is present in any paid reservoir. Here, fish, as a rule, is launched according to the principle "the more, the better." The feed base is not taken into account, and no balance is maintained. The result - the fish pecks at everything you offer. As a result of this, trout fishing on salvages is in great demand. If you look from the financial side, then everything develops in the most successful way.
Well, if in fact, it turns out that the fish is just bought. People for whom the easy fishing of trout on platniks is a favorite thing, feel rather awkward, uncomfortable and helpless on an ordinary river. If you still decide to choose a
paid pond, it is better to go to the old reservoirs that have been operating for several years. Here the conditions are as close to natural as possible. Since over the years in the pond everything "settles down." It will be great to fish for trout by spinning on a plateau. In wild waters, this individual lives according to its natural habits: cunning, dexterity, strength and caution. Those who have been here and here can say that catching pond trout is very different from catching a river. This is a reliable fact.
Fishing
As mentioned above, trout is very shy. Therefore, the rod in this case is selected long. This is in order to carry out the cast away and not scare the trout. Equipment is needed here running, from a fishing line with a diameter of 0.20-0.25 mm, about a meter long leash, with hooks 6 and 8 numbers. This is important to know in order for trout fishing to be successful. In this case, a specific nozzle is required. The most commonly used are the leaf and dung red worms. Small and medium-sized trout do not pay attention to the quality of the nozzle. What can not be said about large individuals. They choose a larger and more lively worm. Also in this regard, insect larvae, pieces or entrails of fresh fish may be suitable.
Trout bombardment
Such fishing is relevant when the specified individual is far away and it is not possible to spin the spinner by spinning. In this case, a bombard is used to deliver the bait, which has an external resemblance to a float. This device has a spiral-shaped body mounted on an antenna with a hole for the fishing line. Inside is the load. It can be located below, on the sides, distributed along the entire length, be in the center of gravity and elongated in the lower part. For good casting, a fishing rod is used rather long (3.0-5.0 m.). The fishing line is suitable both ordinary and braided. Leash length - 1.5 m (with fishing line - 0.2 mm). In this case, natural and artificial baits are used. It depends on the individual approach. Bombard allows spinning method to cast light lures over long distances. Further, the principle of operation resembles wiring with a “rotator”. Bomber trout fishing is one of the favorite methods of avid fishermen. Since this method is quite effective.
Catching the specified individual on the feeder
Fishing with this device is also very popular. This is not only in Russia, but throughout the world. All anglers know that trout fishing is effective. Since these gears are very catchy. Thanks to the feeder, you can fish in the habitats of large trout. Namely at the bottom. This device is ideal not only for the indicated individual, but also for carp and bream. Professionals in this matter know that fishing for trout on a feeder is significantly different from catching another fish on the same tackle. The main distinguishing feature is the range of a particular individual. That is, in the case of carp, this is the bottom, but trout prefers water. The bait must float with water. Since the choice of the specified gear and location depends on this. Trout fishing is more suitable for professionals in this business. Since they know all the subtleties of this gear.
Autumn trout fishing
This process at a specified time of the year has its own characteristics. Namely:
- This is the optimum temperature for trout. Since she does not like well-warmed water at all.
- Also at this time of the year there is the opportunity to catch a large individual. Since she is gaining weight by winter.
The most suitable month for a process such as trout fishing in the fall is September. This is important to know. Since in late fall, trout fishing can negatively affect its population. If you still decided to go fishing in October or November, then you should adhere to an important criterion. That is, you should determine for yourself an acceptable amount of catch or the minimum size of the trophy, and a smaller fish must be released into the pond. In addition, when implementing this process, you should try to enter the water to a minimum. As you can damage the caviar marked by that time. Yes, and you can frighten off the fish itself. In the fall, trout fishing is most favorable in river zones. But this only applies to rainy weather. That is, when the water level is high enough. But trout fishing in September is almost always successful.
