Fishing Techniques

• 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 Painted comber

  Use a slow retrieve and light tackle when fishing for Painted comber, as they are not particularly strong fighters but require enticing presentation.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
