Fishing Techniques

  Focus on fishing upstream and retrieve lures with a twitching action to mimic injured baitfish, particularly when using minnow-style lures.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
