Fishing Q&A
New York Trout Fishing, Delaware county?
ive been fishing for awile and my grandpa awile back before he passed he caught a 24 inch brown trout and im going to match that if it takes me forever, well he passed when i was two and never got a chance to teach me technique and good fishing spots and the best way to learn that is to fish myself but is there any things like lures, places where they hind, things like that and i only use spin reels no fly fishing so thank for looking and any tips would help

- my condolences to you about your grand father. i lost my dad after he taught me his life time of knowledge. now, it is my turn to do the same to whomever asks, stranger or not. first, go to the nys dec web site for the answers to the bait, lures, and hooks you are allowed to use. try # 00 to # 1 spinners like "panther martin" or "mepps" in, trout worms or 'crawlers, small minnows, #6 hook or smaller, small bobber/float, small split shot. look for undercut banks in the bend, slow spots in the current, like at rocks, logs, etc. where they can ambush prey. use up to 6 or 8 pound test on a matched rod and reel. go to the local bait store, and ask them some questions too. this may sound bad, but you may "adopt" a grandfather.. or make new friends to fish with, and to learn from both.
