If its brownes he's after, I would recommend,on the point, black and peacock spider,blea and black,coachman,mallard and claret,peter ross and silver butcher.For nympth patterns use pheasant tail,stickfly and shrimp. Middle fly needs to be flashy ie,dunkeld wickhams fancy.Top fly needs to be a bushy fly that you can dibble across the surface waves like red palmer or zulu.In summer a small muddler works wonders.Small single dries will work in late evening.If fishing from the bank dont cast to far,try to fish at 45 deg in front and work your way along the bank.Dont forget to keep the rod up .Brown trout take from below and will not chase a fly like rainbows.As the fish will manly small its best to use light gear no5/6 weight lines a long rod is useful about 10ft it is also long enough to use on a boat. Hope this goes some way to helping you out  only wish I could be with him as well.Best of luck and tight lines.

There are many techniques, but the three most popular are :\n\n1. Through the lips -- run the hook up through both lips\n2. Hook between the mid-section -- run the hook through the midsection between the eyes and fin.\n3. Through the tail-- run it through the tail(not the fin) I Personally don't like this technique because the minnow can not swim \n\nThrough the lips is the method I prefer, because the fish has the ability to still move around like a fish and it does not die as fast.  But you have to be careful not to sling the bait off the minnow will come off if cast to hard.\n\nGood Luck, and Happy Fishing\n\nchamberlainjk

I like to use my silver spinner. Get one with a bight strip on it. If you go in the river use a smaller one, and if you are at the mouth of the river us a medium one. They also like flies. Find out which ones just hatched and go get that bait. They eat it up. Good Luck!

The best retrieve is the one that catches fish on any given day.  Different retrieves work in different circumstances.  Experiment a little until you hit one that works where you are.  Watch the insects or minnows you are mimicking and copy them. Good luck.

There are a lot variables in catching Bream, Bluegills,Shell crackers....Wax worms work well. And crickets as well. You also have to know water conditions and structure ......a lot of different things! If you give me more information maybe I can help you better. What lake are you fishing?

I have always fished for them in Florida, but the technique should be the same. I use size 1/0 hooks with a 1/4 inch weight stopped with a bead 6 inches from the hook . I fish off the bottom with live shrimp that I have cut into smaller sections. Drums, red and black, like to feed on the bottom so if you are going to use a lure like a jig you need to make sure you just bounce it along the bottom. The best time is while the tide is moving. I have found that the faster the tide is moving (in or out) the better luck I have. You should be able to check a local paper for tide times. The fish move with the tide, so when the tide is changing (dead tide) the fishing is usually not that good.Good Luck.

Gold spinners usually work well for trout in stained water.  Also try live bait, crawlers, minnows etc, gaudy colered lures (rapalla, hot-n-tot).\n\nIt may not be the lures, it may be where you are fishing.  If you are in the north and the water is still pretty cool your best bet would be to work the shallows (especially bays in inlets).  As the water warms up the trout go deeper and you'll have to change your tactics.

I use a bait that has never failed me. Go to the grocery store and pick up a box of bran flakes and a bottle of Big Red. Take a bowl and poor about 1-2 cups of bran flakes in. Then, you poor in the Big Red. You're going to get your hands dirty, but start mashing away at the stuff until you get a nice consistant paste. The tricky part here is to get the right parts flakes to Big Red. You want it to be pretty sticky, but not liquidy if that makes sense. Tie a treble hook (one of those hooks with three points) to your line. When it's time to bait up, pinch off enough of the stuff to cover all the points of the hook. Be careful when casting not to throw the bait off your hook. When it settles to the bottom, you will see your line go slack. Reel up that slack until your line is tight.\n\nWhen a buffalo bites, it usually mouths on the bait for a few seconds. That will cause your line to go slack. Don't try to catch the fish at this point. Let it sit there. The fish will eventually pick the bait up and pull your line tight again. When this happens, set the hook. \n\nI used to catch huge carp on this bait. They are one of the best fighting fish I've ever chased.

Use plastic worms and plastic lizards.  I right now am using a spinner and that is working well, I am using white.\nAlso what works well is a thing called a brush hog in green color.  It gets the big fish.  Look at http://bassproshop.com for more ideas

If you are fishing from the side you should rather make use of the sliding sinker method.\n\nSinker = 1ft line tied to sinker end of line you must tie a swivel.\nHook = 1ft line tied to hook end of line you must tie a swivel.\n\nNow run main line through the eye of the swivel that is connected to the sinker. Now tie the main line to the swivel that is connected to the hook. Fish will now be able to swim off with the hook with out feeling the weight of the sinker

White bass fishing is fun and they are also good to eat.\nI prefere to fish for them at night. I use small minnows for bait.You can hang a lantern over the water or get a floating light that hooks to a battery.I like to fish from a boat and just drop the line over the side without a bobber.By keeping the line tight you will feel the fish grab\nthe minnow. You may also use a slip bobber which works great. L.O.L.

It sounds like you're going to be doing salt water fishing.  I'd suggest you get a rig with a heavy weight - like a 7 oz (it's shaped like a pyramid), and attach it to a rig that has 2 leaders, each with a small, single hook.  Bait the rig with blood worms, and fish it off the bottom.  You'll catch all kinds of stuff.  This time of year, you should be able to catch a bunch of croaker up there, maybe even some rockfish.

go buy wire leader.there will be a clip at one end and a barrel swivel at the other.clip your lure on the clip and tie the barrel to the line .use them up north on blues.youll never lose your lure

the best bait is to ask the local fisherman what they use.use that.use the same technique anywhere you fish fresh and salt water .eventually you will learn .always ask the locals and you will groww as a fishermen

minnows, shrimp, blood bait, small bream, worms are good catfish baits. Try to find out what the fish are feeding on naturally then try to match whatever it is. You can also buy prepared bait in local tackle shops, Wal-mart.etc. When you do get a bite let them swim with the bait for just a couple of seconds and then jerk.

Their are plenty of websites out there that explain how to use certain lures( crankbaits,jigs,spoons,spinnerbaits,ect.) and plastics (worms,crawls,and anything plastic) you need to figure out what species of fish you are going to target and then look up fishing for that particular type of fish you are trying to catch. You can go to basspro.com or cabella's,com and look for tips and that would probably get you started also try searching the web for "how to catch" whatever type of fish your trying to catch, you'll probably get alot of sites and you would have to pick from them. Their are alot of species to fish fresh water and it's pretty hard to narrow it down much. If your looking for bass fishing I can probably help you out quite a bit, I'm leaving for a Tournment on the Potomac River in the morning and won't be back until Sunday. Just rember a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. Hopefully I can be some help to you, I fish trout also and catch some pike on occasion, not really a choice but they are fun to catch.
