  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

• For Northern pike

• 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.
