Fishing Techniques

• For Brook trout

  Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

• For Atlantic cod

  When using jigs, impart a strong vertical jigging action close to the sea floor, pausing occasionally to entice strikes.
