When i fished the gallatin river in mt., I used 3/8 spinner with about 4 or 5 weights on it.With the current and the weight, the lure went in the deeper pools. To catch the bigger fish pull up and back. With the 3/8 hook/spinner it will set better when given a good tug. Good Luck!

Find a relatively large body of water. A creek, river or lake. Trout should be there.

Yup, this helps a lot.  First, remove the cover to the reel, so you can see the bale (round silver thing with a small thing that sticks out on the side)run your line through the cover first, then wrap below the bale, and tie into a knot. Make sure knot is tight around, and trim any excess line away.  Put the cover back on and stare reeling in the new line.  You need to check to make sure you don't put too much line on the reel, or it won't work properly.

in order to fly fish properly and have fun casting you need: backing, fly line, leader connection, leader and tippet.\n\nBacking basically fills up your reel so the fly line rests perfectly, and also keeps the fly line from being tightly wound around the spool and developing memory. Your fly line is essential for casting. You need a leader because you cannot tie on a fly to a big fat fly line. you need a leader connector so you can remove the leader when it gets too short. Tippet is tied on at the end of your leader so you can use your leader for a long time and still replace flies.\n\nall fly line comes in weights, and you your line has got to match the weight of your rod. so if, for example you're putting this new reel on a 7'6" 4wt rod, you need 4wt (wt=weight) line. If you over or under weight your rod by more than 1wt, your rod will not cast the line nicely. An exact match is ideal. If your rod is a spit weight (ie 5/6wt) than either 5 or 6wt would work for you.\n\nAll fly lines come in tapers. The most common and easiest to cast, and most versatile is "weight forward", anything else if for casting specific types of flies or for special water needs.\n\nEach fly line is sold by code, so if your rod is a 4wt, you will be shopping for a line with the following code: WF 4WT (weight forward, 4 weight). Also, choose floating.\n\nfly line runs from $15 to $60 - you get what you pay for.\n\nBacking is typically dacron line, let the fly shop suggest it for you. Backing basically fills up the reel for you so your fly line fits perfectly on the reel. Backing is also used for battling big fish (big big fish).\n\nYou will need to connect your leader to your fly line. Have the fly shop put on a connector (sleeve or mono-tie in). The connector allows you to put a leader on your fly line without having to tie a knot. The connector will also allow you to replace the leader when it gets beat without having to undo knots or chop off part of your expensive fly line.\n\nyou can buy leaders for about $4 each. get knotless tapered ones, 7' 5 or 4x is good for trout.\n\nfinally, tippet is clear thin line that you tie to the end of your leader so you dont have to tie your fly to your leader. Every time you tie on a new fly, you end up wasting a piece of your line. Since leaders are tapered, there is only about 1' of material at the end that is fine enough to put through the eye of a fly hook. Tying on a piece of tippet gives you an extra diposable length of line to waste changing flies, and you always have line that will fit nicely in the hook eye. If you use tippet, you'll be able to keep your leader for several months. tippet comes in 30' spools, appx $4-8 per spool, and you should tie on appx 2' each time you tie on a length. \n\nThe weights of tippet come in X's, which if you read the tippet label, correspond to breaking strenght. the higher the # the lighter and more fragile the weight.\n\nso for example, if you buy a leader that is 7' 5x, that means the lightest section of the leader is equal to 5x tippet. You should buy 5x or 6x tippet to match. If you try to tie a really light tippet to a heavy leader (ie 3x leader, and 8x tippet) the diameter of the lines will be so different that your knot will have a hard time holding and you'll loose a fish.\n\nhope this helps. good luck.

Normally most rods have a thing called a "seat". This is where the reel is physically attached to the rod. Some just pull up and over the " T " part of the reel causing it to hold. Others require you to screw a bolt which holds it in place.\n\nOnce you have all that done run the line through the eyelets and tie on a lure/hook.

I don't know of any web sites that will send ya free baits, but if you find one let me know. I know where you can get alot of free baits though if that will help you out any. Go to a FLW event or a BASS event and they usually had out free lures. At least at the Flw championship or the Bassmasters Classic.

Contact the Sportfishing landings, in So.Cal.\nThey use the same rods, as loaners, for tourists. They might have a plan to help you, or a suggestion on where to turn.

Start looking for a sponsor and start entering the national tournaments. If you have any free time, I need a fishing guide East of Atlanta ..... LOL

Use shinny things. When i go to the rivers or small lakes, i like to us my small silver spinner. Get one that has a contrasting color on it. Mine has a pink strip. But i have found orange, gold, and yellow work just as well. Try to keep it bright so the fish can see the bait. Good Luck!

One of the bailiffs at a mid-Kent syndicate regularly fishes for pike using big flies, he uses a light(15 - 20lb)wire trace which casts really well, you shouldn't not use a wire trace really, as the pike will bite through everything else. With that, just use a normal fly line as you would trout fishing, with a 6 -7 foot lenght of mono between the fly line and the trace wire. Use the larger flies that are used for salmon, as well as the proper ones developed for the pike. Good luck

If your using terminal takle go with wax worms.\n\nIf you want to through lures use a 1/8 oz. Wordens Rooster tail; jigs tipped with wax worms work really well. \n\nThere is a jig put out by GRIZZLY JIG COMPANY, http://www.grizzlyjig.com/html/grizzly_jigs.html, O strongly recommend them. The rigging method for  these is easy. Take a crappie rod or any ultralight is fine, and put on a slip bobber. Set the depth at three feet attach two jigs, one at the bottom and another at 2 feet.  Cast to where you want it an dlet it go to work . These usally get hit on the sinking motion so it is easier if you are on a dock or using a crappie rod or in a boat.

There are too many ways to list, but in addition to the other 2 responses above mine, you can put them on a leadhead jig, and jig them on the bottom. Try tying a palomer knot, and on the tag end tye on another hook, and rig 2 flukes this way.  You can also get a threeway swivel, and rig two at the same time, make one of the lines atleast 6 inches longer than the other though..  Start off with two different colors, and which ever one catches more is the one you use on both hooks.  That rig kills the smallies in my area.   I prefer using the threeway swivel.  I have also caught largemouth using this rig.  And you can catch bass, as well as trout using the jig method.  Here's a few articles about fluke fishing. Although the first one talks about parasites.  Have fun, and tight lines.

it is very simple ,just make sure that all the eyes on the rod are aligned making sure that the joints are tight but do not force the sections together as they are nearly impossible to seperate if forced together,attach reel to handle and start to thread line through rod rings but make sure line is around bale arm and line will rerieve to reel when wound in if you do not do this then whole rod will have to be re-threaded,when line is out of top ring you can then attach float and weights and hook,hope this has helped,any more questions do not be afraid to ask

Try Maggotdrowning (The UK's No.1 freshwater fishing messageboard): http://www.maggotdrowning.com\n\nAlso Amazon, where you can buy a copy of "John Wilson: Baits & Artificial Lures" which is absolutely packed with information on it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0752219294/qid=1148527855/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_0_4/202-1803687-5659022

A needle and some fishing line should do the trick...fishing line will support the clip alot better than thread.

Maggots, worms are good as the trout is very predatory. Also they will take bread flake, infact they love it. Its cheap and can be used with ease. A top bait, and it works at night, they can really smell it. For me, it would be bread then maggots then worms TIGHT LINES

Live bait with double trebles 2x or 4x depening on what you expect to be catching big or really big. Make your own wire leader to match the baits size. the first trebles should be hooked in the nose of the bait and the trail hook should be  in front of the tail of the bait. \ntight lines
