Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• 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.

• For Yellow bullhead

  Fish near the bottom, as yellow bullheads are bottom feeders. Use a slip bobber to suspend your bait just off the bottom in deeper water.
