Seasoned trout fishermen know that early spring is the best time to attend their favorite trout fishing location
It's springtime and to most die-hard fishermen it means the spring trout fishing season is upon us. Seasoned trout fishermen know that early spring is one of the best times to attend their favorite trout fishing location. Taking their fishing poles, taking out their fishing lines, and sharpening the hooks.

In early march, the water is usually much higher and murkier due to melting ice. The trout are often feeding very aggressively during the spring, opportunistically grabbing anything that looks like food in the fast moving water currents. To be able to eat though, they must be able to see it through the mud rich, stained water.
Flashy Spoons
The main thing to remember when trout fishing early spring is that the flashier the fishing lure, the better. The most popular lure among the trout fishing experts is the spoon, very flashy by nature, most all spoons put off flash and vibration when pulled through the water with every type of retrieval method.
The best spoon to use should also depend on the kind of water being fished, determining factors are also the weight of the spoon relative to its' length. Wide streams and deep holes call for a heavier spoon, which can be worked faster and cast further than lighter ones.
Water color
The water color is another determining factor when choosing the correct swimming action as well as the proper colors and finishes. Tighter wobbling spoons are excellent for clear water, while a wider wobbling spoon is the best in the hole for murky water. The wider wobbling spoon sends out strogner pulses and makes a wider visible impression in the water; and both these qualities can help the fish to find the spoon.
It is hard to say why certain color would produce more strikes than another on one day and yet not the next afternoon. Still, the general rules are suggest metal finishes work best in clear water while heavy dirty water requires brightly painted on the spoon. Neon colors such as chartreuse, orange, and hot pink are easy for the trout to spot in dirty water. On the other hand, black makes an easy to see contrast even in the dirtiest of waters.
Tips To Catching Spring Trout On A Spoon
One of the biggest advantages that the trout fisherman has in early spring is that the strong currents that accompany the high water levels will position the fish in obvious areas and make the feeding alleys very easy to recognize. The trout will try and stay in the only places they can, near the obstructions that slow the water current : rocks and logs.
Spoons can be fished in a variety of ways to catch the trout both near the surface and on the bottom. The main way of doing so is to cast either upstream or cross current. Downstream casts equal upstream retrieval, most spoons do not operate properly with the constant current against them, this also does not fit into the genre of natural foods that are also floating along with the current.
The best overall way to work a spoon in trout water is to use it fo short casts upstream and cross current while practicing different rod sweeps and stops that put the bait to action as the water carries it downstream. This puts the lure right over the heads of the trout in the proper direction that they are used to seeing their food come from.
Conclusion
With a bit of practice and a taste for trout, you should be slaying the springtime trout in no time at all. This is your best chance ever to grab a hungry trout in the whole year. Spring has Sprung for trout fishing, so grab your best fishing gear and go get em'!
