    You’re never guaranteed to catch fish, no matter what gear you’re using, bait, lure tc. Some days they just wont take it. You can help to improve you’re chances by fishing midday in the winter as the fill up temperature will rise by a degree or so, making them a small more active, as it gets to summer morning and dusk fishing will be best, overcast days work well for trout, a boat does give you some advantages like reaching underwater structure, as does a float tube and pontoon.

    I am an avid trout fisher from MD and every year I buy my out of state non inhabitant PA license for $62.40. I have also never…I repeat NEVER went a day of fishing without a trout. My best advice for you is to go get ‘em. There is never a set spot to catch a fish, nor a perfect time of day I believe. The best fishing experience I have ever had and was hooked from there on was stream fishing. Stream fishing gives you a chance to get out and see nature while you creep up on that trout in the riffles. You have to look at trout fishing from a hunters stand point as they are spooked easily. Before I left for Afghanistan I landed an 18 1/2 inch native accept trout in the small streams of southern PA.

    Best Practice: Don’t rush it. I will use half a night crawler and float it into a riffle or under a bank and that (80%) usually produces a decent trout. Try a couple times and then go on.

    You are never going to be guaranteed a trout every time you go to the spot. But, i know some excellent ways to catch a lot of them slippery trout!

    Live Bait/Bait : Worms, Marshmallows, Corn.

    Lures : Small 1/4 Spinner baits, Marabou Jigs, Crappie Jigs, Rubber worms, artificial corn, flies.

    The best time of the year for me trout fishing is spring or ahead of schedule fall. They are really out and about. The first time i ever went fishing for Trout it was a warm summer day and i spellbound a 12 inch rainbow trout with a worm. Fishing a river or “creek” for trout you don’t need a boat at all. Preferably you would Glide Fish for Trout (Never Did It). But, for a lake if you had a boat it would help. You could get to some fantastic Trout spots.

    Tight Lines!!!

    The only way you could be guaranteed that you will catch trout is if you fish in the hatchery. Before all pooh-pooh’s this, you can in fact get a license in Rhode Island to fish in their trout/salmon hatchery. The license was $250.00 back in 1994 and allowed you to catch up to 200 lbs of trout total during the season.

    Go to a fish farm or a state hatchery – that is your only guarantee. Otherwise it takes work and experience to become successful.

    Um. It’s called “fishing”, not “catching”.

    If you’re with wild fish, there are never any guarantees.

    Are you fishing for Brine Trout or Original fill up? What part of the country are you fishing in?

    man i am sorry to say that there isn’t the first time that you will be gauranteed to catch fish…if it was that simple it wouldnt be called fishing it would be called catching. but i would say that the late spring ahead of schedule fall would be the best time that you would have more luck and a better chance of landing more fish.

    If you were guaranteed fish, when fishing, it would be called catching, not fishing. Nearly any kind of fishing has seasonal changes in place and bait eaten. I much prefer the spring or fall, as you tend to catch larger fish.

    i have been fishing for 20 years now. my largest trout was 73cm 6.5 pound. there is never any guarantees you will catch a fish, but if your dyed-in-the-wool and pay attention to detail and do that small bit more than the average fisherman you will increase your chances.
    I would find a well known trout stocked lake in your state. the smaller the lake the better, larger population of fish per area of fill up = more chance of one biting your line. best times is 1st few hours with sunrise and last few hours before sundown, without a doubt the best times. and i reckon anytime of year is excellent, if its overcast the fish will be in shallower fill up than if it is bright and sunny. you can buy dough from most tackle stores for trout. fish it under a stick float with very small if any sinkers attached to the line. place a cut of corn on the line just above the hook. also try 4 wiggly maggots under a float as well.
    berley up hard with corn kernals and pellets(from tackle stores) and sit back, be patient, and the fish will come, then make sure you dont get spellbound out with faulty gear, always use line in excellent condition. and if you dont catch anything one day, dont be disheartened, persistance pays off, so get back out there the following day at dawns crack and try again. cheers matt.
