Spinning

[petera]

I am trying to get info /tips/crash course on spinning techniques for trout

Please any tips etc would be really helpful !

Thanks

8lb line or less, and spinners about size three and under, casting upstream and retrieving fast is the most successful technique for me. Tip: be very patient, keep casting for 10 - 15 minutes before changing spots.

What kind of water and what kind of Trout?

If it is for wild brownies then the advice is 'be quick', they are out of season soon.

 

What trout, which waters?

Google is your friend - In England the brown trout season runs from the 22nd of March through to the 30th of September, however some fisheries may go on for another week in October. Check locally to be absolutely certain.

 

Why? So they have a chance to spawn without being disturbed.

 

Do people still fish? Yes but for coarse fish only! For natural course fishing waters the close season is 15th March to 15th June each year.

Looks like they have been discussing that syatem, if not so much on that specific river here.

A point to not again. This is not coarse fishing, lots of what comes up in this section is game fishing, perhaps we need a game fishing section?

I prefer the fact there's no game fishing section on AN. It's handy talking about trout and fishing for them etc. but very few folk on here purposely game fish and on any of the other sites I frequent, the game fishing section is generally dead and it's highly unlikely coarse anglers would nosey about in a game section to see what's what. By talking about trout etc. on here we expose coarse anglers to other methods, new species, new venues, new holding areas and a different mindset. I'd say ANs coarse forum is the least segregated and friendliest site on the internet and it slowly but surely chips away at the fishing divisions and opens up discussion between them. A new game forum would, in my opinion, do more harm than good.

I used to fish the Goyt, Etherow and Tame a bit when I lived over that way. They were "improving" rivers at the time, I bet they're cracking waters now. Mixed fisheries, though, and more coarse than trout.

 

petera, any particular reason for wanting to spin for them?
