Buy the gears you need. Get rods, reels, hooks, lines and fishing weights to cover all your fishing needs.

Look for a river to fish in. Ideally, you should start on areas near your location. You can also read your Wildlife management manual to get information about the rivers in your area that have trout in them.

Choose your tackle. There are different tackles per situation. You will have to study which tackle is best for different occasions. For instance, light tackle is ideal for river trout fishing.

Set up your tackle before going on your fishing trip. You can use a clinch knot to tie barrel swivel.

Add weight to your line if you are using bait. Doing this will help you cast successfully.

Bait is our friend. However, you should check your manual to know which baits are allowable in your fishing location. Live earthworms, salmon, and canned corn are three of the most popular trout fishing baits.

Spoons, spinners, and other lures are effective for fishing as well.

Listen to local weather forecast. You can fish anytime you want but it is better if you are dry so try to fish when its not raining. Another reason to listen to the daily forecast is that you adjust your baits according to the weather. For instance, you can use earthworms after a rainstorm or grasshoppers and crickets on a windy day. You can read more about this on Google.

Scout for a good fishing location before you take out your gear. Look for accessible clearings, slow moving areas of deep water, and converging current. If you are fishing on a stocked river, expect a huge crowd of trout anglers. After you finally found a spot, go back to your car to get your fishing equipment.

Ask yourself this question: “What should I do with my catch?”. You should decide whether or not you should keep the fish. Check your manual or the regulations on the size of trout that can be kept. If you are releasing the fish, make sure that you handle your fish well. Carefully grasp it but not too tightly to avoid killing the fish. Gently place it back into the water.
