Fly Fishing About Questions
what is the best way to catch trout but without fly fishing?
PLEASE NOTHING ABOUT FLY FISHING COZ I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
ON THE RIVER ITCHEN OR THE FISHERY THATS THERE
cappie minnows, fatheads, and nightcrawlers are the best live bait. Use small #8 0r #10 hooks(smaller if possible) and the lightest line you can get away with. You do not use a bobber or a float. If there is no current, or a light one, you do not need split shot or sinkers. Just let the bait float and drift to the bottom naturally, moving it slightly every few minutes as needed. In areas with heavier current, you need to add the appropriate amount of weight to keep the bait in the fishes strike zone.
When fishing trout, you always want to fish upstream (face into the current) this way, on the retrieve, you bring the bait back with the current which is a more natural presentation. trout like to hold in dead spots in the middle of fast moving water.Look for rocks in deep current and cast past them. Allow your bait to drift past the rock and try to delay it in the dead spot in the current that the rock, or other obstruction creates. When using nightcrawlers or worms I like to cast on top of the rock and slowly pull the bait off of it, slipping the worm into the water slowly on the side of the rock facing me. Also look for deep pools and runs. If the banks are undercut by the current these can be golden spots to drift live bait through. Remember, trout always face upstream(against the current) so try to do the same. This way you will stay behind them so they don't see you, they also won't become spooked by the debris you have disturbed floating past them.
Spinners and spoons are also great means of catching trout. Panther Martins, Mepps, and Rooster tails are popular choices and work well. Sizes #0 thru #2. Smaller is generally better when trout fishing, but certainly not always the case. If the water is muddy or murky, use copper colored spinners. On cloudy days use gold, and on bright sunny days use silver(any color can work any day, but this is the guideline) When spinner fishing from shore, if you cannot fish with the current, try to quarter it. Reel just fast enough to keep the blade spinning, as close to the bottom as possible. Small rapalas and other crank baits can work well also. There is a whole mess of literature on trout fishing, go to you're local bookstore and see what you can find.
Good luck fishing!
Why does my Venus Fly Trap turn into its self in a loop??
I bought two venus fly traps about a month and a half ago. They were doing great, growing new foliage and they both even started to flower! I trimmed off the flower stalks because it takes too much energy from the plant to flower and could have killed both. But for some reason, both of the plants have started to grow leaves that grow straight and normal, then they will turn and point down, then grow back up to make a loop in the stem. Some just keep growing and are fine with the loop, and others will turn black and the leaf will die at that point where the loop is. I give the plants distilled water or water that has sat out for a day or so. I don't really feed them or touch the traps. They live in a fish bowl terrarium with plastic over the top to keep the humidity in. They have perlite and peat moss soil. Not sure what the problem is.. has any one had this happen before??
Sounds like an auxin problem. Anyone spraying 2,4- D or 2,4,5-T? Contaminated water source?
