Rainbow Trout – How To Catch More Rainbow Trout This Summer

Fishing for rainbow trout in the summer poses some unique challenges to trout fishermen. In this post I will outline a few of these challenges along with some tips and trick for overcoming them so that you can catch more rainbow trout this summer. In many area's of the country, hot weather,m and crowded waterways can make active rainbow trout difficult to find, so the first challenge that needs to be overcome is finding rainbows that are active, because as you are probably aware a rainbow trout that is active is much more apt to bite whatever it is that you are offing it

In order to consistently locate active rainbows, you need to make sure you are on the water fishing at the most opportune times of the day. This can be accomplished by paying attention to things like the phase of the moon, the moon rise and/or set, and the weather. All of these factors impact the activity level of rainbow trout and the more that you understand about these subjects, the more successful you will be as a trout fisherman.

As water temperatures rise during the summer, rainbows can become much more lethargic and will seek cooler water temperatures. This means focusing on deeper water, and fishing as much as you can during the early mornings when water temperatures will be at their coolest. Summer rains can cool down water temperatures quickly and dramatically, often causing rainbow trout to become active.
During the summer months when rainbows are feeding, they are often doing so quite aggressively, which means that techniques and lures that have lots of movement are often very effective. Aggressively fishing inline spinners that match the natural forage of the water that you are fishing is often an effective summer trout fishing technique. And, during the summer when crayfish are prevalent, a crayfish crank bait can be a serious rainbow catcher as well.

The bottom line is that if you want to catch more rainbow trout this summer, the aforementioned tips and tricks will help you accomplish this task. Don't believe me? Give one (or all) of them a shot and find out for yourself.
