There are many ways to fish for trout, but few are more effective than bait fishing. Let's take a look at some tips to help you be more effective when bait fishing for these multi-colored beauties. We can sum it up in three easy steps.

When done properly, which this article will help you with, bait fishing for trout is also an art in the manner that some other fishing methods are. If you can follow all of these methods you will do fine. All of which will make you a much more efficient and effective trout angler.

The first thing you need to do is use light fishing line. When bait fishing for trout you want to use fishing line that's as light as you feel comfortable with. I personally use four pound test monofilament when bait fishing. Actually four pound test is that I use for all of my trout fishing. Six pound test is okay as well, but anything heavier than this should not be employed. Using the lightest line will prevent the trout from seeing the line. You don't want to distract the trout.

When bait fishing, many times that bait is live worms, and when using live worms as bait you need to have and efficient and effective way to carry said worms. With a bait bag your worms are always at your fingertips waiting to be used and you'll never have to search for your bait again. This simple act, gives you more time with your line in the water (where the trout are) rather than out of the water while you look for your worms. Basically, a bait bag allows you to take your bait with you into the water.

Gang hooks are the most effective way to present bait while fishing. This is especially true in the case of live worms. These hooks are simply a pair of small hooks tied in tandem, which enable you to present bait in a realistic manner. This makes a huge difference when bait fishing for trout. Of course, the more you can make your bait look natural in the water, will allow you to get the most strikes. Anything that doesn't look natural will spook the trout.

Take these simple tips, and you will have a great time fishing. Use one or all of them on your next fishing excursion and find out for yourself just how great these tips are.
