One thing is for sure. There is no shortage of trout streams in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas. Some are spring-fed rivers and creeks. These provide everything from daily stocked put and take fishing for gullible trout, to the pursuit of wild rainbows in a pretty spring creek. There are also trophy brown trout streams that can and do produce stream grown trout in the ten pound range. In all, there are eighteen spring-fed streams in the Ozarks that are managed for year-round trout fishing, seventeen of which are in Missouri. All have public access. Of these, the freestone section of the North Fork of the White is often considered to be the best, with trout populations in the thousands...

If you have caught Rainbow, Brown, and Brook trout it may be time to try to catch some of the more exotic trout species. I had this revelation a few years ago after a trout fishing rip to Montana. We fly-fish for everything and caught a lot of fish but they were mostly Rainbow and Brown that are typical for the area around West Yellowstone, Montana. We also caught a few small Brook and a couple of Cut-bows (Rainbow/Cutthroat hybrid) in about a week of fishing. I had lived out west for many years and have seen many different rivers, lakes and trout. I decided to find out how many trout species there were in North America and see how difficult it would be to catch them all. The quest was on! It turns...

Fishing lures and over the counter nail biting cures have more in common than you realize. These purported cures address the results of nail biting not the causes of nail biting. You can spread creams and brush on evil tasting chemicals till the cows come home and with minor exceptions you will still find ways and times to bite and chew your nails. These treatments are in a manner just fishing lures. Fancy, flashy, and pretty fishing lures are designed to catch the fisherman first, to sell more fishing lures second and to catch fish third. Just ask any real fisherman. Do the fancy lures catch fish? Sure they do but the fisherman must fish with them consistently and correctly to produce desired...

Bass fishing is okay from the shore, but if you want to feel and enjoy the challenge of catching real large bass, then you have to move to open waters. The shore limits this fun to a great extent.

The Bass Fishing Tracker Boat The tracker is still the best boat available for fishing. Not only is it made of the best aluminum making it almost maintenance free, it also comes with all the features that one needs to be successful in fishing for bass - and for any other species of fish that is. The tracker is large enough to carry all that you need and more for your fishing trip and you...

I am a Utah fishing guide and have noticed that when I started out on the Provo and Weber Rivers I had the same mistakes that most people have today, which is spacing between your weights to the first fly and then from your first fly to the last fly. Here is a very easy way to figure out if you have your fly fishing rig set to proper proportions. When you setup your rig you should start by adding at least 8 feet of leader to the fly line. At the bottom of the nine foot line attach about 16-18 inches of 4x tippet and tie on your first fly. Now attach 16-18 inches of 5x tippet to your second fly making sure that you tie on your tippet to the eye of the hook (not the shank of the previous fly...

The Chesapeake Bay is one of the world's most popular fishing destinations due to its natural beauty, miles upon miles of scenic shoreline, diversity of fish species, and relatively close proximity to the major cities of Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York. These attributes often make a Chesapeake Bay fishing charter a viable option for outdoors-minded individuals who are looking for something to do in their free time. To reserve your very own Chesapeake Bay fishing charter, there are a number of options that must be considered. Before reserving your Chesapeake Bay fishing charter, you must be able to get a group together as most charter boats price their trips based on a minimum...

Fly-fishing has gained a great popularity over the years as a relaxing sport. The thrill of luring the fish, catching it and having it for lunch or dinner or simply the soothing sounds of running water in a stream have made fly fishing an experience to remember, for the young and the old alike. The fly-fishing experience is complete only if you have the right kind of fishing equipment. The most important fly-fishing gear is the fishing rod. Fly fishing rods were originally made from flexible but sturdy wood. Later on, bamboo rods were introduced and these became the standard fly-fishing equipment. Bamboo was treated and reinforced to make the best quality fly fishing rods. Presently, due to advanced...

All children should be exposed to the outdoors and ideally to fishing. It doesn't matter whether they live in the country or the city, or whether they go on to fish in later life, it's just one of those things kids should do. It's like riding a bike. All kids should learn to ride a bike if at all possible. Some may go on to ride in their adult lives and some may just have fond memories. I have fond memories of fishing and biking when I was young and hopefully my children will too. To go fishing you need fishing equipment. In some places you may be able to rent but don't count on it. If you don't own any, you can go and buy a cheapie rod and reel combination from the local Wal-Mart or Target or other...

Some rods are multi-rated (e.g...

Preparation is key when you are looking to take up carp fishing. Where you decide that you are going to fish is one of the factors that you have to consider before you buy any carp fishing equipment. If you are aiming to fish heavily weeded areas where you might have to bully a fish to land it then you might want to take a look at a heavier type of tackle. If however you are fishing a gravel pit or a big lake free of weed then you can get away with lighter tackle as you can give the fish a lot more slack. The price of Carp fishing equipment will vary depending on the rods, reels and accessories that you want to purchase. You can get a basic set for around 50 to 60 pounds or you could go more...

Over looked crappie baits Can crappie be caught on natural crappie baits other then minnows? The answer to this question is definitely yes, but few fisherman rigging live bait for crappie switch from minnows to other baits because 95% of the time minnows are effective. Crappies will normally strike minnows like rosy reds and shiners the majority of the time. But what about that other 10 percent of the time when crappie minnows just are not producing anything?

With all the fishing pressure we anglers face each day, how can we make our baits different from all the rest? I notice this a lot when I'm out fishing different areas. I'll get to a spot I know has fish and find someone else had just fished the spot hard. Of course nothing was biting. The other angler had been using the same baits I was using. Just by watching whats swimming like crayfish and baitfish checking their colors you could touch up your baits with dye coloring to match. This will make your baits look different from the other baits and more like the food forage where you are fishing. Fishing Statistic:Statistics Canada The most popular fish kept by anglers in Canada was trout. 60% were...

If you're the type of person that loves outdoor activities so much that you don't want to stay inside, even in winter, than you should look into ice fishing. Ice fishing is the only way to extend your fishing season beyond the time of year when the lakes freeze over. Fishermen all over Canada and the northern part of the Unites States only have to stop fishing for the few short weeks between the time when the first thin layers of ice develop on the surface of the water to when the ice layer is thick enough to support significant weight-loads. Once the ice is thick enough these devoted fishermen can drive their cars out to the middle of their favorite lake, drill a hole in the ice, and continue their...

When it comes to ice fishing it is a different ball game all together and is so much different from usual fishing. If the correct precautions are not followed then it might become dangerous. Also right materials have to be carefully chosen. There comes the need of ice fishing augers. These are the most important materials required for ice fishing.

The other day I got up my courage, jumped into an extra pair of longjohns, and took off for the Salmon Creek Reservoir to fish through the ice. A couple of years ago one of the girls in my Sunday School class told me she went ice fishing with her family in Southern Idaho and that she had fun. They caught some nice trout. Her thought stuck in my head and I decided to give it a try this year since ice fishing can be fun. I could see those trout a sizzling in the fry pan. Up where my oldest son lives in Michigan they put out their little fishing houses until the spring thaw when a number of them, along with automobiles, sink into the lake. During the summer they build a new fish hut or whatever they...

I've caught bass on crankbaits, spinners, plugs and others. But for me, the most fun is plastic worms on a Texas Rig. Don't get me wrong, catching a largemouth bass is catching a largemouth bass, and I'd gladly catch one with my mother's toe nail if they'd bite it. What's my fascination with plastic worms and the Texas Rig? Simplicity in changing baits from color to color and style, they are weedless and effective. But there's more to it. I love them because I feel they are more interactive and you have to fool the bass more than with other baits. If you throw out a worm and just reel it in, you are not likely to catch many fish. You have to know how to work it and you have to be very patient in...

* Introduction: Get on it! Easy Success from the efficient digestion of protein carp baits: When consumed, carp break down proteins into amino acids and peptides. These are then either used to make up body proteins for growth, repair, or other uses, such as enzymes for digestion of more of your bait! Or proteins are used to provide energy, either immediately, or after being stored as glycogen in the liver. The digestible protein of the bait is affected by the level of anti-cholesterol agents produced in the liver, which speed the breakdown of glycogen for energy, or prevent it’s formation. Therefore any substance you can put into your bait to maximize this effect will give the carp more energy...

There are more than a hundred unique types of fishing lures, with thousands of variations within them. The ingenuity of fishermen knows no bounds whenstalking that elusive trout or bass or pike.Fishing lures are designed to work with the water, or in some cases against it. The basic idea is the same no matter the design and it's captured nicely by the very name: lure. Fish aren't famous for being eager to jump onto the hook. They have to be lured. The variety of ways discovered over the centuries to do that is astounding. Most try to resemble something the fish will find tasty, which naturally varies from species to species and place to place. Here are just a few... Spoons are shaped somewhat like...

This is one of my favorite big fish techniques while there are a lot more people doing this once unthinkable way of fishing now a days, I have been doing it for many years with great success. I like to use a 7 foot med heavy action rod with a 5.1 heavy cranking reel spooled with 20 lb mono... the mono is the key here as you need the line to be able to float back up with the bait. The bait itself is not nearly as important as the presentation although I do prefer a lucky craft RC 2.0 in American shad but as I say any big profile diving bait will work in this technique. I like to target large pad fields with this technique while looking for what is known as the "spot on the spot" such as different...

In the still of the night lurks the hunted, when it is most unexpected and the prey is at their optimum vulnerability. This can be a great advantage for anglers to conquer their most sought after prey, the largemouth bass. Night fishing can be one of the most invigorating experiences in a bass fisherman's career amateur or professional. Why is bass fishing at night beneficial? First of all only 10% of all fish species feed in the daytime, because their feeding preferences are so commonly night- oriented. In the dark, bass have a lesser ability to sense shadows, perceive noises, and see their surroundings. They can't sense the things that deter them from biting that hook. These are some essential...
