Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• For Common bream

  Bream are often bottom feeders, so use a bait that presents well on the lake or riverbed, and pre-bait the area you plan to fish.

• 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.
