To catch trout from a lake for survival, there are a few methods you can try. One popular method is using a fly rod and flies. This involves casting a lightweight fly into the water and mimicking the movement of insects to attract the trout. It's important to use a light rod and keep light pressure on the fish to prevent them from breaking free.
Another method you can try is using spinning gear with a float and fly setup. This involves attaching a small float to your line and adding a fly or nymph below it. You can cast this setup upstream and let it drift down with the current, enticing the trout to bite.
In terms of bait, power bait or other scented baits can also be effective for catching trout. You can mold the bait onto a hook and cast it out into the lake, allowing it to sink and attract the fish.
It's worth noting that the specific techniques and baits may vary depending on the type of trout and the conditions of the lake you're fishing in. It's always a good idea to do some research or consult local experts to get the best advice for your specific location.
