Stalking a brooder trout at Junction City Pond - Anatoliy - 01-10-2007
After seeing other anglers succeed where I failed I decided to arm myself with knowledge so I can stop failing and start succeeding. I put together a "battle plan":
1. I should fish not at the closest proximity to my truck, but where the fish are.
2. I should use lures that are attractive to fish not ones that attract me.
3. I should present the lure so as to attract the fish.
I would appreciate everyone's input on the points below. Also, if I missed a crucial point please let me know.
1. Where are the fish?
a) I need to get a map of the pond. Ideally with depth, major points of indentation etc. Alternatively, I need to get a map that shows as much detail as possible and add pertinent information to it.
b) I need to learn how to anticipate fish behavior according to the weather patterns.
2. What lures to use?
I need to find out what lure to use according to the weather patterns (kind, color, size etc.)
3. How to present the lure
a) I need to know how, and where, to cast properly.
b) I need to know how to retrieve the lure (speed, depth, etc.)
