Default Re: I am bad a trout fishing

Eliminate the swivel asap. Tie direct. If bait fishing #10 hook or smaller. Split shot 18-24" above hook. Size of shot varies by speed of current, depth and size of bait. Sweep seams, current edges and pools AWAY from where you are standing. If u see fish they certainly see you. Cast bait upstream keep rod tip up to feel your split shot ticking the bottom. If you're snagging often then you need lighter shot and better control of your line. It takes time to adjust to and you have to find a set up that caters to your need . Absurd amount of trout to be caught. Good luck
