Fishing for Trout in the Summer?
I'm trying to learn how to fish. I want to fish for trout. I'm in
California a little north of San Francisco. Everything I read talks about fishing when the water's cold (winter, early spring) or using gear that goes deep from a boat if I want to fish in the summer. I don't have a boat and I don't want to rent one every time I take my kid fishing. I thought I used to go fishing in the summer when I was a kid and I used to catch trout. I never used anything fancy, just a treble hook with eggs or cheese, maybe a worm (not usually). Am I wrong in thinking that I can catch trout from shore with a sliding sinker/swivel/leader/treble hook/cheese, power bait, eggs or with a bobber instead of a sliding sinker? Don't trout need to eat in the summer, too? Or are they only dining at the finer deep water establishments? If I insist on fishing lakes from the banks, is it a crack of dawn thing and a last rays of sunlight thing? While you're answering this, I'll try to remember how to tie a knot. Thanks, Marty |
