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.
