The best way to bait a minnow: (for trout)
1. Put the hook carefully through the mouth and out the gill.
2. Pull back hook/line towards the tail.
3. Crossover to the opposite side, and set hook under spine
4. Give a tug to as establish a false arch to the minnows back
Cast off,up stream, reel in slowly, while the line comes towards
you, continue reeling in, the false arch created during baiting
process gives you a spinner as well as the impression of live bait.
Note: continue playing until past your body, then do process over.
if no nibbles, move 10 feet up the stream. ,,, DP
P.S. For non fly fishers only, I for one prefer the old Zebco reel. |
