Trout Bait.

[peterhunter86 8,627]

nice fish although i always feel they look and smell better than they taste when cooked lol.

 

as for ten minutes digging worms no need,washing up bowl full water little squirt of fairy liquid mixed in and pour on grass,few minutes pick the worms up as they come to surface

 

I hate that muddy taste myself i once got one from a small river with small gravel and stones on the bottom and it was lovly to eat

I take mine to the local smoke house and he just sticks them in the smoker with his big orders for a couple of quid, makes em all taste lovely

Always fancied trying to make a smoker, might have to get that sorted!

Easiest thing in the world jonnie. Have a peek at a few of my previous posts. Small but will certainly smoke 4/5 medium sized fish.

Great, so it's not a one-off. That will save a bit of digging next time.

 

It was only about 2lb but put up a great fight on light tackle launching itself out of the water. Looking at the size of its tail I can see how.

 

Used to pick up the occasional trout on bread intended for chub, whilst trotting the Deepdene stretch of the River Mole in Dorking years ago. Have also had eels take bread, again trotted for chub, but during the night on the River Beult in Kent, using one of those green 'glow-in-the-dark' floats you used to have to shine your torch on to activate it, before proper night floats had been invented although in all honesty I did find worms more successful.

i have seen trout take bread thrown into the water for ducks on the mole at cobham.

caughtbsome smashing little Browns on bread on the river wey

Due to my new found skill as a trout angler I thought I'd give it a go with a spinner this evening.

 

Caught one about a pound. Lost a couple of tiddlers, then this of about 2lb.

 

 

Followed immediately by this clonker of about 3lb.

 

 

Then nothing...as per usual.

No new found skill as a photographer yet then ? lol

I was out last night at dusk trying for a sea trout, never touched anything but a brownie of about 3/4lb, was fishing a small stoat tail double and a black pennel single on dropper. It took the stoat, when i was removing the fly it spewed a couple of 2 1/2" minnows up.

I caught a sea trout a couple of years ago and just as i was landing it it spewed up a good golf ball sized ball of earth worms,i was using worm and it has allways baffled me where that fish found so many worms to eat....

In the village of Bakewell in Derbyshire the trout literally fight the ducks for bread, in a put and take fishery best bait is a trout pellet superglued to the hook. Chuck a few loose in to get them feeding then drop yours on top, not sporting but effective!
