Kayak Fishing for Trout

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

Fishing from your kayak or SUP can be great fun. It adds to the paddling experience, not only being outdoors, but the excitement of catching a fish is hard to beat. When I go for a paddle without fishing I tend to make it an exercise outing. Adding the fishing pole slows me down and gets me more into nature. Adding a fishing rod to your kayak is easy and fun.

Lake trolling can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it. You can use from 1 to 3 rods at a time, carry a ton of gear or very little. I define the amount of gear that I bring as to whether it is a paddling trip or a fishing trip. Then I have my expectations in place.

The Quick Start Guide will show you how to use the current conditions such as water clarity, wave action and weather to increase your fishing success. It is important to observe the conditions when you reach the lake to prepare the best strategy.

The choice of lure and terminal tackle will be based on the observations you just made. Each variable has an affect on the way your presentation will be visible in the water. The art of combining the right color and finish of your lures and tackle is part of the challenge and fun of fishing.

The brighter, clearer and calmer the conditions the duller or darker the finish needs to be. A bright silver lure on a clear and calm day will be like a headlight shining in the fishes eye. They will shy away from this. Go shinier and brighter as the conditions darken and visibility or water clarity degrade.

Different colors are visible to certain depths based on their wavelength. Blue is visible in deeper or darker water better than red, which will turn to grey. The wavelength of the color determines the depth it will remain visible, but these depths are affected by light and water action at the surface.

How to fish deep will help you get to the right depth as well. Trout are in their comfort zone at 55-65 degrees. As the temperature moves further from this range they will become increasingly lethargic. Cooler water slows there metabolism so it is important to troll slowly. Warmer water will have the fish seeking underground springs or seeps as well as staying closer to inlets and outlets where the water is moving.

A fishing pole added to a paddling trip can make it more fun. By observing the conditions when you go out you will catch even more fish.
