Fishing Techniques

  • For Argentinian silverside

    Argentinian silverside often school, so once you find one, you'll likely find more in the same area; adjust your presentation to match the water depth.

  • For Common carp

    Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

  • 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.
