Trout fishing for beginners on a budget!

Do you ever look at salmon fillets in the supermarket and water at the mouth but find the price far too high? Well this guide is for you! I tried to keep this guide fairly short and to the point so if you need more info, feel free to ask.

Reasons to fish for trout:

Trout taste quite similar to salmon, a fish that's typically unaffordable expensive even here in the PNW (I find trout to be better because they're much more mild and don't overcook as easily, ymmv)

They can be caught without a boat and you don't need an expensive set up.

Fishing licenses fund conservation!

It's fun and allows you to see where your dinner is coming from, from start to finish.

Before you start: Get your fishing license. You can purchase these at Walmart in the sporting good section, stores like Cabellas, online, and many other places. Some states have separate saltwater and freshwater licenses (you want freshwater), others may require a separate stamp to keep trout in some areas. Once you have your license, find a place you can fish. Check if it’s been stocked, when, what size the fish were, and how many. Bigger fish and more recent is always better. Regulations can very a lot from body of water to body of water and state to state. Some lakes may be catch and release only, no barbed hooks, etc and it is on you to know. There are also disabled only lakes (with wheelchair friendly docks). Your fish and wildlife department will have the info online. Some states, like WA, even have interactive map apps and you can always email or call them as well.

Gear on a budget: Rods and reels are expensive new, even low end ones. Check out garage sales, thrift shops, outlet malls, Craigslist, etc. You can often find a good rod and reel combo for cheap. Check to make sure all the parts are in order, things that spin will spin and things that don’t, don’t. Minor wear and tear can often be repaired with a dab of superglue. When buying second hand spools of line, make sure time and the sun hasn’t made it brittle, give it a test tug to see if it breaks. You’re less likely to find artificial bait and hooks used but luckily those are fairly cheap even new, and sometimes you get lucky.

Rod: 5-7′, rated for no more than 10lbs is perfect. It should be flexible to allow it to cast far and not snap when you get a fish on. Ideally your rod should split into two pieces for ease of storage.

Reel: We’re going to be talking about spinning reels and spinning reels only. You want a lighter weight one where the line comes off smoothly. Make sure everything spins as it should and doesn’t make noise (some older styled ones have an intentional clicking sound that will drive you up a wall very quickly, apparently that used to be cool). The side the arm is on can be changed easily.

Line: 8-10lb test, anything more is overkill and may scare the fish. Braided for the mainline, fluorocarbon or monofilament for the leader line. Mono can be used for the mainline too but braided is tougher/stronger. Good line is worth it, here’s what I use for my mainline. You want your reel full of line so it doesn’t catch on the reel and so you don’t hit the end while casting. I recommend a cheaper mono line to tie onto your reel for the first many feet to help fill it up, then tie on your good leader line to the mono line using a double uni knot.

A leader line is useful when you get a snag or a fish takes off with your gear, instead of losing all your line, you just lose your leader.

Hooks: Size 6-8 octopus, circle, or bait hooks. Barbed if legal and if you plan on eating what you catch, barbless if you plan on releasing or regulations require it.

Swivel: Medium/small sized, get snapping ones

Weight: Get egg sinkers in a variety of sizes (they often come in mixed size kits). Note: Most fishing weights are lead, do not consume them or allow pets/children to play with them. Steel weights are an option but they have less size/shape variety and will be bigger than their same weighted lead counterparts. Some places do not allow for the use of lead weights.

Bead: Used to prevent wear on the line/knot from the lead. I personally only use one on my leader line, not below my lead, and that’s my weird angler superstition. They’re very cheap, buy a smaller sized one if you plan on using them.

Net: Seems really self explanatory but I recommend a catch and release friendly net (not knotted, typically a softer material). It's better to have that kind than the kind that may damage their scales in case you need to or decide to release.

Slip/sliding sinker rig:

Ideal for floating bait, the leader line length will depend on the depth the fish will be at (which varies with weather and body of water, 2′ is a good starting point). The lead will sit on the bottom while the bait floats and suspends itself in the water column. The sliding egg sinker weight means the fish won’t feel resistance when it tugs on the bait, fish don’t like resistance. Watch for your line moving away, then set the hook with a quick upwards motion with the rod. Sometimes you won't even need to set the hook because the fish will already be running with it.

Fixed bobber rig:

This set up can be used with or without a leader line but as always I recommend a swivel + leader line (this would be below the bobber). This set up is ideal for sinking baits or when you need to keep all of your gear and line off the bottom of the lake because of weeds, snags, etc. Most bobbers allow you to easily change the length of line below it, useful if you started out with too much or too little line. Since bobbers float, they will move with the current or the wind, this may be a pain or may be a blessing. When the bobber goes down, fish on!

Bait options:

Earthworms/nightcrawlers. This is your cheapest option, you can dig them from your own yard for free. Earthworms sink so they’re best with a bobber set up unless you buy worm blower. I do not use live bait as I find it rather cruel (and most earthworms are not native to my area, no need to help them spread further) but ultimately it’s up to you. Crickets, superworms, mealworms. waxworms, etc are also options, some of which you can breed at home easily.

Fake worms: some float (1, 2), some don’t (1, 2). Don’t get those giant rubber worms meant for bass.

Dough: Ideal for slip sinker set up. Scented Playdo textured dough. Roll enough out to cover your hook and make it float, but not so much that it’s a waste. While this stuff works well, it doesn’t like to stay on the hook. Treble hooks will hold dough on better but they aren’t always allowed and are not suitable for catch and release (if that’s your goal). Also comes in nuggets (costs more per oz). I recommend pink, orange, or yellow.

Artificial eggs: Ideal for slip sinker set up . My preferred bait, I use 3 on a hook and often can reuse the same eggs for several trout. You don’t even need to buy these, they can often be scavenged from places where anglers gather. My mom did this (or used ones I bought) for months with great success. Power eggs and similar ones typically float but there are sinking ones, always check the label. I personally use red, white, or gold ones that are half clear but I’ve also caught them on solid yellow and pink. A family or group of friends could buy multiple colors and split them.

Trout Magnet(tm): Never personally had much luck with these, they can be recasted over and over as a lure or used under a bobber, they do sink. Also useful for panfish.

Lures: I’m not really going to go over lures much since that’s a whole other can of worms, but they are very reusable and can often be found for free in bushes at lakes. They require a different set up and more work to use than bait still fishing. Some do function under a bobber hence the mention.

Now to the actual fishing!

Set up your rig, whichever one you're planning on using, and adjust your leader line accordingly.

Hold the rod with your dominant hand, you want about a foot of mainline hanging off the tip of your rod

Align your line roller (labeled diagram of a reel here) to be pointing your rod.

Use the index (or if you're weird like me your middle) finger to hold the line against the rod

Use your non dominant hand to flip the bail up. Line can now freely fall from the reel so it's important to keep your finger on the line.

Bring the rod over your head, I personally have mine like this before casting. Use a forward throwing motion and release your line. The last step will take lots of practice and I personally recommend practicing at home with just a swivel + weight on. Always be aware of your surroundings, you don't want to hook someone or lose your gear in a tree.

When you feel a bite, set the hook with a quick upwards motion while holding the rod. Sometimes the fish will hook themselves just fine.

Once you have a fish on, reel in! Large fish may need a looser drag and to be played a bit (let them run with the line, then reel in, repeat until fish is tired) but most stocked trout come quietly.

Once you've reeled your fish in, use a net to catch it (if needed) and decide if you're going to release it or keep it for dinner. Fish you're planning on releasing need to be handled gently and with wet hands to protect their fishy coating. Don't take them out of water for too long. Remove the hook quickly with fishing pliers.

If you're going to keep it, it needs to be killed quickly and humanely. Please don't be that person with a bunch of half dead fish on a stringer, or letting your fish aspirate, it's cruel. How you kill your fish is up to you and will depend on the size. For smaller ones I do cervical dislocation, head bonking and cutting the head/spine also work. If I'm killing a fish I always wait until after to remove it's hook so it suffers less.

Cleaning your fish: Ok you have a dead fish, now what? Find the fish butt, it'll be before the tail fins. Insert your fillet knife in and carefully slice up the belly. Ideally you don't want to slice too far in lest you rupture the intestines. Remove the guts. I personally toss all the guts back into the water, as to return the nutrients but there are fish organs you can eat. Use a fingernail to scrape the kidney off of the spine and rinse. From there you can fillet or cook the fish whole. Here's the video that helped me learn to fillet. Keep fish on ice until you're home. They can be frozen, cooked immediately, or refrigerated for a few days.

I hope this guide helped you and as always, if you have questions feel free to ask!

The tides of Sirion | For @pxnxply's Idril Celebrindal

Their numbers had grown, but that was seldom a good omen in a place such as the Havens of Sirion. Their numbers had grown because the remnants of another fallen realm had found their way into their sanctuary, and only more would follow.

Gil-galad was barely sixty, but the sense of naivety that tends to cling about someone at that tender age had departed him long ago. Today, sweat covered his brow and the worn tunic he'd donned earlier in the morning had become a canvas of mud stains and saltwater as he helped around the settlement.

It had been barely a week since the host of the Gondolindrim, led by Princess Idril and her husband, had arrived with weary feet and even wearier hearts, and Sirion had since burned with activity. More tents had been raised to protect the newcomers from the elements while construction work began, children had been gathered at one of the longhouses so they could continue with their lessons and games, and the adults were making sure their newest additions had safe places to rest, and that their provisions were enough.

Círdan and Naneth had assigned him several tasks for the day while they oversaw their own share of duties, and Gil-galad had soon found out that physical work could be rewarding —in the sense that his head didn't spin with everything that entailed having the Gondolindrim here.

It was when he lifted his head to reach for a jug of water that he saw that Idril was just a few paces away.

"Watch your feet!" he called, hoisting himself up from the hole they'd been digging. He wiped his brow with the cuff of his tunic before getting to his feet. "It is... Uhm, foundation work. I have been told your new dwellings will be stronger that way."

He knew next to nothing about construction work —other than ship building—, but he'd found out it was at times difficult to speak with people he barely knew yet, and that was as good an excuse as any. His mind was still reeling from the fact she was a cousin of him, one he had never known until now, and all the implications of her being here.

"I trust your people are adapting well to the Havens?" he half asked, his voice tentative.

#pxnxply #Fairer than all the wonders of Gondolin (Idril Celebrindal)#hope this works! lemme know if you need anything changed #and into darkness fell his star (queue)

Technique: Jigging in Open Water

Jigging is an effective fishing technique widely used for catching various species in open water. It involves a vertical, jerking motion of the fishing lure, known as a jig, to mimic the movements of injured or fleeing prey, thereby attracting fish. This technique works well in deep waters where fish are suspended or near the bottom, making it suitable for anglers targeting species such as bass, walleye, pike, and even larger saltwater fish like tuna.

Equipment and Setup

The key to successful jigging lies in using the right equipment. A sturdy rod with a sensitive tip allows the angler to feel the jig's movement and detect even the lightest bites. Pairing it with a high-quality spinning or baitcasting reel that offers a smooth drag system can enhance the experience. Jigs come in various weights, sizes, and colors, each designed for specific water depths and fish species. Heavier jigs are ideal for deeper waters or fast currents, while lighter ones work well in shallower areas. It's essential to match the jig's weight with the fishing conditions.

Jigging Techniques

There are several jigging styles to choose from, depending on the water conditions and the target species. The most common method is vertical jigging, where the angler drops the jig directly below the boat and lifts it up and down in a rhythmic motion. This technique is effective for fish that stay near the bottom or are suspended in deeper waters.

Another popular approach is speed jigging, often used in saltwater fishing for aggressive species like tuna or mackerel. The angler quickly reels in the jig while simultaneously jerking the rod, creating a rapid, erratic motion that triggers the fish's predatory instincts. Slow-pitch jigging, on the other hand, involves a slower, more deliberate rod movement, making it ideal for bottom-dwelling species like groupers.

Tips for Success

The success of jigging depends on timing, location, and technique. Fish tend to be more active during dawn and dusk, so these times can be particularly effective for jigging. It's also crucial to identify the right fishing spots, such as underwater structures, drop-offs, or reefs, where fish are more likely to congregate. Adjusting the jigging speed and style based on the fish's behavior and water conditions can significantly improve your catch rate.

Conclusion

Jigging in open water is a versatile and rewarding technique for anglers of all skill levels. With the right gear, technique, and understanding of the target species' behavior, jigging can yield impressive results in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting, mastering jigging can enhance your fishing experience and help you catch more fish.

Exploring the Best Monofilament Lines and Comparing Monofilament vs. Braided Lines

Fishing lines are the most fundamental part of any fishing setup, and the right line can make a significant difference in a successful fishing experience. Among the many choices available, monofilament and braided lines are the two most popular types, each offering unique advantages depending on the fishing conditions and personal preference. For fishermen looking for high-quality monofilament lines or trying to decide between monofilament and braided lines, AATHIFISHNET provides reliable and durable products designed for various fishing needs.

This discussion explores the qualities that make certain monofilament lines the best in their category, offers a comprehensive comparison between monofilament and braided lines, and provides insights into how AATHIFISHNET can assist in selecting the right line for specific fishing conditions.

1. What Makes the Best Monofilament Line?

Monofilament fishing lines, commonly known as “mono,” are made from a single strand of material, typically nylon, and have been a favorite among anglers for decades. The best monofilament lines are known for their durability, stretch, knot strength, and overall handling. Here are some critical factors to consider when selecting the best monofilament lines:

Strength and Durability

Monofilament lines are generally highly durable and resistant to abrasion, making them suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. The best monofilament lines are designed to withstand repeated use and the rigors of various fishing environments. High-quality monofilament lines like those from AATHIFISHNET are made from premium nylon that enhances both strength and durability.

Stretch and Flexibility

One of the key characteristics of monofilament lines is their ability to stretch. This feature can be advantageous in certain fishing situations, such as when targeting species known for strong runs or sudden pulls. The stretch helps absorb the shock of these sudden movements, reducing the likelihood of the line breaking or the hook pulling free. The best monofilament lines offer a good balance of stretch and flexibility, which can improve hook-setting power and reduce the likelihood of missed fish.

Knot Strength

Knot strength is essential for any fishing line, as it determines how well the line can hold up under pressure once it’s tied. Monofilament lines are known for their knot strength, which ensures that the line won’t slip or break at the knot, even under substantial stress. AATHIFISHNET designs their monofilament lines with high knot integrity to enhance performance and reliability.

Visibility and Color Options

Visibility can be both an advantage and a disadvantage in monofilament lines. While some anglers prefer high-visibility lines for tracking in clear water, others might prefer lower visibility options to avoid spooking fish. The best monofilament lines are available in various colors to match water conditions and meet individual preferences.

Versatility and Ease of Use

One of the reasons monofilament lines remain popular is their versatility. They perform well across various fishing techniques and can be used for both spinning and casting reels. Additionally, monofilament lines are easier to handle and tie knots with, making them suitable for anglers of all experience levels.

2. Popular Monofilament Line Types and Brands

The best monofilament lines are those that meet specific needs and are reliable under a wide range of fishing conditions. Here are some popular types of monofilament lines widely used by anglers:

General-Purpose Monofilament Lines

General-purpose monofilament lines are versatile and can handle various fishing scenarios, from freshwater bass fishing to saltwater surf fishing. AATHIFISHNET offers a range of general-purpose monofilament lines designed to deliver consistent performance in diverse fishing conditions. These lines are crafted from high-quality materials that provide a reliable combination of strength, durability, and stretch.

Fluorocarbon-Coated Monofilament Lines

Fluorocarbon-coated monofilament lines are designed to offer some of the benefits of fluorocarbon lines, such as increased invisibility underwater, while retaining the flexibility and handling ease of monofilament. These lines are particularly useful in clear water conditions where low visibility is essential.

Specialty Monofilament Lines

For specific fishing situations, specialty monofilament lines are available. These lines may offer enhanced abrasion resistance, UV protection, or increased buoyancy, depending on the intended application. AATHIFISHNET provides specialty monofilament lines for anglers targeting specific fish species or fishing in unique environments.

3. Monofilament vs. Braided Line: Key Differences

Both monofilament and braided lines are widely used by anglers, but they have distinct characteristics that make them better suited to different applications. Understanding the differences between these two types of lines can help anglers choose the best option for their needs.

Strength and Diameter

Braided lines are known for their exceptional strength relative to their diameter. A braided line of the same diameter as a monofilament line can carry a much higher test weight, making it an excellent choice for targeting large fish species. However, monofilament lines tend to have a thicker diameter, which can help with abrasion resistance and is easier to handle for tying knots.

Advantage: Braided lines offer superior strength and a thinner profile, while monofilament lines offer better abrasion resistance due to their thicker diameter.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity is an essential consideration when fishing for species that have delicate bites. Braided lines are more sensitive than monofilament lines due to their lack of stretch, which allows anglers to feel even the slightest bites. Monofilament lines, on the other hand, offer some stretch, which can reduce sensitivity but also helps absorb shock.

Advantage: Braided lines provide greater sensitivity, while monofilament lines offer better shock absorption.

Stretch

The lack of stretch in braided lines makes them ideal for situations where a quick, powerful hookset is needed, as the line will not give under pressure. However, the stretch in monofilament lines can be beneficial in preventing fish from pulling free, especially when fishing with treble hooks or when targeting species known for strong runs.

Advantage: Monofilament lines provide stretch for shock absorption, while braided lines offer direct feedback without stretch.

Visibility

Monofilament lines are available in various colors and tend to be more visible in water, which can be advantageous when tracking the line. However, the higher visibility can spook fish in clear water. Braided lines are also available in various colors, but some brands incorporate color-changing technology to allow the line to blend into different water depths.

Advantage: Monofilament lines offer visibility for tracking, while braided lines with color-changing technology can adapt to water conditions.

Knot Strength and Ease of Use

Monofilament lines are known for their knot strength and are relatively easy to tie, making them suitable for beginners. Braided lines, while strong, can be more challenging to knot and may require special knots to prevent slipping.

Advantage: Monofilament lines offer better knot strength and ease of use, while braided lines require specialized knots for secure connections.

4. When to Use Monofilament vs. Braided Line

Both monofilament and braided lines are effective tools for fishing, but they are suited to different applications:

Monofilament Line Applications

Topwater Fishing: The buoyancy of monofilament lines makes them ideal for topwater lures, as they float on the surface and allow for natural lure action.

Fishing with Treble Hooks: The stretch in monofilament lines helps absorb the shock from fish that make sudden runs or head shakes, making it suitable for use with treble hooks.

Beginner Anglers: Monofilament lines are easier to handle and knot, making them a good choice for beginners.

Braided Line Applications

Heavy Cover Fishing: The strength and abrasion resistance of braided lines make them suitable for fishing in heavy cover, such as vegetation, rocks, or structures.

Deep Water Fishing: The thin diameter and sensitivity of braided lines allow anglers to feel the bottom and detect bites when fishing in deep water.

Long Casting: Braided lines have minimal stretch, allowing for long casts and quick hooksets, making them ideal for casting over large distances.

5. Choosing the Right Line with AATHIFISHNET

AATHIFISHNET offers both monofilament and braided lines designed to meet the needs of modern anglers. Their commitment to quality and durability ensures that fishermen have access to products that enhance their fishing experience. With a range of line types available, AATHIFISHNET provides solutions for various fishing conditions, from inshore to offshore and freshwater to saltwater.

Monofilament Lines by AATHIFISHNET

AATHIFISHNET’s monofilament lines are crafted from premium nylon and are available in different colors and strengths to suit diverse fishing needs. These lines are designed for durability, ease of use, and reliable knot strength, making them an excellent choice for anglers looking for a versatile and user-friendly line.

Braided Lines by AATHIFISHNET

AATHIFISHNET also offers high-quality braided lines that deliver exceptional strength and sensitivity. These lines are constructed with advanced braiding techniques that minimize diameter while maximizing tensile strength, providing anglers with a powerful tool for targeting large fish or fishing in challenging conditions.

6. Conclusion: Finding the Right Fishing Line for Your Needs

Choosing between monofilament and braided lines ultimately depends on the specific fishing situation, target species, and personal preference. While monofilament lines offer versatility, stretch, and ease of use, braided lines provide strength, sensitivity, and a thinner profile. By understanding the differences between these lines and selecting high
