An alternative to carrying a ruler when fishing is to buy a plastic adhesive ruler and stick it on the side of your tackle box.
When tying nymphs, streamers, or wet flies with weighted bodies, use a specific colour of thread to form the head. For example; red denotes heavily-weighted; yellow for light-weighted; black for un-weighted.
When you're trolling with plugs, spinners, spoons or flies, drop your rod tip back once in a while rather than maintaining a steady pull. Dropping back causes the lure to tumble momentarily, triggering strikes from any fish that may be following.
If you're not sure where the most productive waters are when trout fishing on streams, look for a flowing line of foam. Most of the insects that wash into the pool from upstream will be in these foam lines.
When angling in a stream or river on a sunny day, stand out of the sunlight as you cast. You're less likely to spook the trout if you do this.
While wading through rivers and streams avoid wearing bright colours or plain white, as it often spooks fish. Wear drab colours to blend in with the background as much as possible.
Always be watching where the birds are hanging out in the lake, as they may be feeding on a hatch.
Dull lures means dull results. Polish all your lures and make sure you thoroughly rinse off all traces of the cleaner after polishing.
