Fishing Tips For Trout – Taking Advantage Of The Fall Trout Fishing Season

As the weather begins to cool here in Northwest Montana, I can't help but get excited. No, not because of football or hunting but rather because of fishing and more to the point, trout fishing. As a person who has been an avid trout fisherman for more almost three decades, the fall season is by far my favorite time of the year ti fish for trout. If you are a person who enjoys the act of trout fining, taking advantage of the fall fishing season is of the utmost importance.

The weather is comfortable and beautiful much of the time, the rivers, streams and lakes are all but empty do to people focusing on various other activities, and the trout are "stocking up" on food before the onslaught of colder temperatures when they become much less active and thus feed much less often. Yep, the fall is difficult to beat when it comes to trout fishing and below I will outline a few tips that will help you catch more trout this fall.

The first thing to discuss is your gear, and specifically I'm referring to the line on your reel. If you are a serious trout fisherman, you are using light fishing line, and when using two, four, or even six pound test, many times we forget to change our line as often as we should. The fall of the year, when the trout fishing really "kicks into high gear" is the perfect time to take a minute and re spool your main trout fishing reels with fresh fishing line.

During the fall, trout in rivers and streams become very active as water temperatures cool down to most trouts' ideal temperature range and a great tip is to try to be fishing for trout when the moon is in your favor, which will mean that the trout are that much more active when you are on the water fishing for them. You see, during the "new moon" (which happens once a month) and when the moon is "rising" or "setting" (which happens every day) fish tend to be very active and you you can be on the water fishing for trout during the fall of the year when one or all of these occurrences are taking place, you are much more apt to experience trout fishing success.

The bottom line is that the fall fishing season is probably the best time of year to go fishing for trout and the aforementioned tips will help you be even more successful. Add one or all of them to your fishing repertoire and get out make sure that you get out there and catch some trout this fall.
