|
i catch enough fish with bait . can i catch as many with artificial flys nymphs and lures ? . i would like not to use critters as bait but it works a treat , i have been studying the contents of trout stomachs and although earthworm is rare in autopsy , it is a deadly bait taking the biggest fish first and rarely missing on any day whatever the conditions of the water ,small fish are even better , catching bigger fish than worms and much more rapidly but this less the path i wish to follow than the worm way.i will use any means necessary to feed but it would be nice to do it with no harm caused to owt but dinner , any suggestions? my local trout contain many things small trout , snails , insects ( both aquatic and terrestial), odd things(invertibrates ) . the biggest often only eat tiny fish .so how should i proceed for next year ?the flys and lures i have tried do not seem to work cos if i follow them with bait then i get dinner although i have messed the river with the line , casting, retrieveing ,cursing etc but the virgin artifice fails to get fish .does anyone know any practical trout lures ?ones that work too well . like bait . |
