First In Fishing

Mark Cella fresh water fishing lakes

With so many would be anglers these days heading out of town to fish for the weekend, some strategy needs to be implemented. You’ll need to know what day of the week the lake you want to fish at has been stocked. The days of catching tons of fish without knowing this are long over, so call the ranger station ahead of time and find out.

So many fisherman now a days hit the lakes and pull out most of the fish within days of it being stocked. So if you want to camp for the weekend, and they stock the lake on Tuesday, well even the most experienced angler may find it a bit more challenging to catch his dinner.

Besides the obvious requirements of having proper fishing gear, knowing the best times of the day and weather conditions to catch trout is important. In this angler’s experience, very early morning and later in the evenings are the best times of day to catch these fish.

If the forecast is rain or snow you’re in luck. And if it’s like that in the very early morning hours, you’ve got the most optimal conditions. It will also be a lot more fun for the true angler mountaineer to have to stay warm in the midst of it all. Just stay of the lake if there’s lightning so you don’t get cooked up for the fishes supper.

Once you have the right lake at the right time of day with the right weather you’ll need the right lures and bait. Experience has shown that fish adapt themselves to their environment. They start to gain a favorite flavor from the anglers that let one get away, if you will. So, you may have to experiment with the actual bait flavors.

As far as lures go, always use small bright and shiny lures in the dark weather as they seem to catch the eye of the fish. During brighter weather and times of day do the opposite and use darker lures as the shiny ones most likely look like sunshine.
