Trout Fishing Tips 183
Always Use Light Fishing Line – As I said in the last tip, trout are almost always found in cold, clear water and using light line is a must when fishing for them. Trout have very keen eyesight as well and can easily detect fishing line under the water if it is too heavy, and if the trout detect your fishing line they are much less apt to bite your offering. I personally use four pound test monofilament for all of my trout fishing and suggest that everyone do the same. If you think that four pound test is too light, you may want to consider the fact that I regularly hook and land trout in the twenty + inch range while using four pound test monofilament.
