There are few things that will increase your catch rates like common sense and practice. The more time that can be spent on the water, the better. And heck, we all want to be on the water anyway, right?
- Pay Attention To Your Hands - It's important to understand that trout have a very sensitive sense of smell, so any scents that might transfer to the bait that your using will have an effect on the amount of bites that you receive. For example, if you smoke (like I used to) your hands stink! That smell will transfer to your bait every time you bait up, and will cost you bites if you don't follow this advice. Before baiting up, always grab a handful of dirt or grass and rub it in your hands. This will help to neutralize any foreign odors on your hands that will hinder the amount of trout that you catch.
- Pay Attention To Moon Phases - There's probably nothing that effects catching fish like moon phases. You might think this sounds crazy, but the moon has an incredible effect of fish activity. This goes for trout, as well as all fish. The more you know about moon phases, the better and knowing what's going on with the moon doesn't cost you a dime.
- Pay Attention To The Weather - Just like paying attention to the moon, paying attention to the weather is not only free of charge, it's also quite easy to do. With a little research you'll know when the best weather conditions for fishing are, and you can be on the river or lake at the proper times. Believe me, there are many times that you shouldn't expect to catch any fish just because of the weather. This goes for all fish, but especially trout.

- Pay Attention To Your Bait - Whenever you're using bait (especially live worms) you need to pay attention to how that bait looks. It needs to look as natural as possible. The best way to make your live worms look natural is through the use of a set of pre-tied gang hooks. Gang hooks allow you to present a live worm in the most natural way possible.
