Lake trout are a large, beautiful fish that inhabit deep coldwater lakes. If you are wanting to catch a lake trout, the first thing you must know is where to find them. These fish live deep. You likely will not catch lake trout fishing from shore or close to the water’s surface. You need to get your bait down to where the fish are to have any chance at catching them. Another characteristic of lake trout is that they do not fight very hard; they are rather sluggish fighters compared to other popular game fish.

The easiest way to catch lake trout is by slowly trolling deep diving lures. Experiment fishing at different depths to try to find the fish, but don’t be afraid to let out quite a bit of line and go deep. You may get your lure stuck on the bottom occasionally and that is okay.

Lake trout are some of the prettiest fish that you will find in the United States. In areas where lake trout are not native (if you are fishing Yellowstone Lake for example) do not hesitate to keep the fish you catch for some good eating, which will help the native fish populations to compete. There are many fishing guides and charter boats that are willing to help you out with catching lake trout as well.

Choosing a good rod is a major decision for the fly fishing angler.
Shopping for that new rod can also be allot of fun. But how do we know what the right rod is? Here are some tips to help you make your purchasing decisions.

Fly rods are about the action, casting speeds, weights, and many more factors. You generally want a soft or slow casting rod. Softer is often better because the line will land in the water with less impact. The faster your rod is the harder the impact.

You need to purchase a rod that suits the type of fishing you do. If your into bass fishing you will need a strong rod and one that’s longer. Fishing for more active fish will generally require a much stronger and longer rod.

Shorter rods are great when your around trees and objects. You need a much shorter length in order to avoid getting caught in objects.

If you like to fish where there is lots of action and rough waters your going to need something that is much heavier. This will provide a much faster casting speed. The only problem with this is that its not beginner friendly. If your new to fishing start by fishing for small fish in a calm environment.

These are just some beginner tips for choosing the right rod. Remember to ask the stores sales person when buying your rod. If you plan on buying one online most stores have guides to help you with your decision. Don’t be afraid to email them with a question either. Most online stores will be happy to respond.
