Here's a really simple way... to catch stream trout using your spinning rod.

If you have ever wanted to fish for trout in a stream but are frustrated by the thought of equipping, learning, and mastering fly casting, here is an alternative. You can be on a stream, fishing and catching trout with a minimum of expense and frustration.

All trout respond to salmon eggs used for bait.

This method of fishing salmon eggs is simple, deadly, and does not kill the trout. Almost all the trout hooked will be caught in the mouth, just like fishing with the fly.

The few components can be purchased at any fishing supply stop, even at a fly fishing shop.

Your shopping list of items to start is very short. The heart of the method is to use a very small float as a strike indicator to float the salmon eggs naturally in the current of the stream.

The small Styrofoam floats used as strike indicators for fly fishing nymphs are ideal. Purchase a few floats that are 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch in diameter. The purpose of the float is to indicate when a trout takes the salmon egg.

Beneath the float about 12 inches attach a very sharp hook.

The first choice in hooks are the extremely sharp Gamatszu hook in size eight. If these are not available, Owner Hooks are just as good.
