Your Best Trout Trip EVER

If you’ve recently purchased Wildblue packages for your home you’re one step closer to planning the trout fishing trip of a lifetime. When you’re ready to make the move we’ve got some suggestions for the best states you can get your “fish” on, as the kids say.
1. Montana: The quintessential fishing stop, Montana has river upon river of highly stocked waters. Head into Yellowstone for a true feeling of bliss or go to one of the smaller cities like Bozeman or Whitefish to see what all the fuss is about.
2. Georgia: Trout are abundant in the mountains of north Georgia and stream trout fishing is big doings here. Try to go on a weekday to avoid the crowds and come after the streams are stocked, usually in early spring or fall.
3. Virginia: The nation’s most historic state also has some of the best fishing. Trout here are of the rainbow variety and you can actually charter a small boat to take you out in some of the lakes. Lake Kerr is our favorite but we’re partial to the scenery.

Reading A River Correctly Can Improve Catches

Successful trout fishing is not limited to early morning. A few hints in reading a river will help you locate trout and have a successful catch throughout the day.
The first step in reading a river is to understand the currents, which flow in a riffle-run-pool pattern.
Riffles have a fast current with shallow water. This is where the white water rapids are in a large river, and will contain only small trout because there is not adequate cover for bigger fish. Fishing the riffles is best in the morning or evening.
Runs are deeper than riffles, and have less current. This area will contain larger trout because there is sufficient cover. Runs can be fished in almost any time of day.
Pools are the deepest part of the river, where the current is slowest. This area does not have an adequate food supply for most trout, but they can be found resting there in the middle of the day.
Always look for trout in areas that provide protection and a break from the current. They can be found under jutted rocks, in shrubs or beneath an undercut bank. They will also seek protection from prey and the sun by hovering around fallen trees

Fly Vs Spinner: A Personal Choice

For those who love fishing, you know that there is both a fly rod, and a spinning rod, for you to choose from when out on the water. And, making the choice on which of the rods is right for you, is really a personal matter, and you are going to want to choose the one which feels more comfortable to you. Many fishermen who do this as a hobby and a sport, find that both rods have their greatnesses, and for this reason, a fisherman might have both rods. They may use one for fresh water and the other for salt water fishing.I found some more information here.

But, when you are deciding on the right rod for you, there really is no right or wrong for you to buy. It really is a matter of deciding which rod feels more comfortable to cast, which one feels more comfortable for you to hold for a longer period, and which one you feel is going to give you the catch you are looking to get out on the open waters. So, when you are choosing the rod for your fishing adventure, you must make sure you pick the one which feels right for you and your fishing.

Are You Tying The Right Knots For Fly Fishing

There are five common knots every fly fisherman should know how to use: the arbor knot, albright knot, nail knot, double surgeon knot and improved clinch knot.

1.The arbor knot is used to connect your backing to the fly reel. This knot will keep your line in place as you wind the reel and prevents loss if a fish completely strips your line.

2.The albright knot is used to tie the backing to the fly line. This knot is also commonly used to tie two pieces of line together of different diameters or materials.

3.The nail knot is used to connect your fly line to the leader or it can be used in place of the albright knot for connecting the fly line to the backing.

4.The double surgeon-s knot is used to attach the tippet to the leader. When creating a tapered leader, this knot is generally stronger than the blood knot and allows for easy attaching of different sized tippets to each other.

5.The improved clinch knot is used to connect your fly to the tippet. This knot is simple to tie and will hold up to 95 percent of the test strength.
