Bluegills

 

Bluegills

How to begin? Well bluegills are probably the easiest fish to catch ( at least for me :) ). Really all you need is a float / bobber a small split shot weight a small hook and a worm. Of course other baits work to. Bread (of any kind), fish eggs, and sometimes even a bare hook will also work for bluegills.

This makes them a good beginner fishermen (or fisherwomen) fish. Keep in mind, bluegill are a small species. The world’s largest bluegill was only a little over 4 lbs. That’s a once in a lifetime catch. Plus the bluegills in Grants Pass’s Reinhart Volunteer park are mostly very small. My personal best bluegill is only about ½ to ¾ of a pound.

The best hook sizes for bluegills are size 8 to size 12. I would say the best size for the split shot weight is about ⅛ of an ounce. My favorite bluegill rig is shown below.

 

 

This is the same rig that I catch all my bluegills on. Not much more can be said about bluegills. Let’s move on to trout.

 

 

Trout

 

Trout

Allow me to introduce to you a couple of tackle items you may not have used before. The corkie and the spin and glow (basically a corkie with wings on the sides).

The corkie is basically a brightly colored plastic ball with a hole going through it. The same for a spin and glow, but a spin and glow is a different shape and is usually larger than a corkie.

You place the corkie / spin and glow on your line in between the weight and the hook. Now we can talk about trout.

The best bait for trout is probably a worm, but there is also an artificial bait known as Powerbait© and Berkley Gulp©, however I think worms work best. You also don’t want to use more than ¼ and ¾ ounces of weight and you want to use a hook with the size 4 to 8.

Not to mention lures. Lures for trout include: Rooster Tails, Panther Martins, Wedding Rings, Rapala Original Floaters, Wooly Buggers, Mepps Aglias, and Worden's Flatfishes.

The 7 lures listed above, are all very good lures for trout

 

 

Now that we have talked about trout, we can begin the steelhead chapter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steelhead

 

Steelhead

For steelhead, you basically use the same stuff you use for trout. The only difference is, the tackle you use is a bit bigger. There is also more lures for steelhead than there is for trout.

Thank you for reading!
