Fishing Techniques
- For Bull trout
Bull trout often lurk near structure like fallen trees or undercut banks, so target these areas with your presentations.
- 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 Westlope cutthroat trout
Westlope cutthroat trout are often found in clear, cold streams; fish upstream, presenting your bait or lure naturally and avoiding spooking the fish by keeping a low profile.
