You have to think like a fish, this sounds stupid I know, but fish act out of instinct driven by hunger. I guess maybe if you make them mad by dangling a worm or your best fly in front of them, now I'm getting stupid. Who knows why fish do what they do. Some fine examples of tried and true fishing equipment can be found here. You don't have to have a whole lot of expensive fishing equipment, but I know it puts you in the right frame of mind you want the leading edge advantage of those rascals.

Fish, limbless aquatic vertebrate animal with fins and internal gills. We will be interested in the bony species,
or Osteichthyes. There are over 20,000 living species. Most are confined either to saltwater or to freshwater, but some are physiologically adapted to moving from one to the other. Fish are a major source of human food as well as of oil, fertilizer, and feed for domestic animals. All have skins covered with slimy glandular secretions that decrease friction with the water; in addition, nearly all have scales, which together with the secretions form a nearly waterproof coating. They breathe by taking water into the mouth and forcing it out through the gill passages; as the water passes over the thin-walled gills, dissolved oxygen diffuses into the gill capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses out. The circulatory system is closed, and the heart is two-chambered; the blood is red. With few exceptions, all are cold-blooded; that is, they cannot regulate their body temperature, which is the same as that of the environment. Reproduction. There are some live bearing species(ex; shark,and whales)in most marine species the eggs float freely in the currents, where they are eaten by other animals. An enormous number of eggs is therefore necessary to ensure the maturation of a few; in many species a female produces as many as 5 million eggs in one spawn. The eggs of most marine specimens contain oil droplets that buoy them up, while those of most freshwater species are heavy, with sticky surfaces that adhere to objects in the water. Some of the fishing equipment used to fish scallops by the ocean factory ships have been known to destroy the lobster grounds in some areas. We have to be careful the fishing equipment we use to catch one fish doesn't destroy an other species. Some fishing equipment used in salt water can not be used in rivers and lakes. (nets, and line sets) The Bony Fishes They are distinguished from other living species by their bone skeletons and by the presence of either a swim bladder (which functions as a float) or, in some as lungs. The bony In nearly all of these species the lung has evolved into a hydrostatic organ, the swim bladder. Many sport fishermen believe that, depending on the barometric pressure, this will dictate as to the probability of the fish biting, because of the effect it plays on the bladder. You might want to check that out. I believe if the fish aren't biting than no amount of fishing equipment will make them. Information on fishing reels can be sought after here.

Trout are usually found in cool, clear streams and lakes, although many of the species have anadromous strains, as well. They are distributed naturally throughout North America, northern Asia and Europe. Several species of trout were introduced to Australia and New Zealand by amateur fishing enthusiasts in the 19th century, effectively displacing several upland native fish species. The species introduced included brown trout from England and rainbow trout from California.
Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), like brook trout, actually belong to the char genus. Lake trout inhabit many of the larger lakes in North America and live much longer than rainbow trout which have an average maximum life span of 7 years. Lake trout can live many decades and can grow to more than 30 kg (66 pounds).
Feed.Trout generally feed on soft bodied aquatic invertebrates, such as flies, mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, and dragonflies. In lakes, various species of zooplankton often form large parts of the diet. In general, the larger specimens of trout (longer than about 30 cm approx. 12 inches) prey almost exclusively on small fish, if they are available.
While they can be caught with traditional fishing equipment a normal rod and reel, fly fishing is a distinctive method developed primarily for trout and now extended to other species. Farmed trout and char are also sold commercially as food fish. Please feel free to join our discussion on the Blog. This is where we can share Info., Advice, Jokes and other useful stuff.

We hope to cover stories that will cover such things as "a rescue, a near disaster or a happy story, the story of the big one that got away, or the incredible fishing trip you had. We also hope to share some good fishing tips and maybe even the odd good joke. I will try to get them all on sometime. Your valued comments are welcomed. Thank you for the chance to hear from you.
