Spin Fishing

Spin fishing is a great way to start trout fishing as the skills are easily mastered.

A basic outfit of rod, reel and line, plus a few lures are all you need to have a good chance of catching trout.  

The watercraft and knowledge of trout habits learned while spin fishing are just as useful for other trout fishing methods such as fly fishing.

Spin fishing is fishing for trout with lures that imitate small fish. They are cast with an outfit  consisting of an 'egg beater' reel loaded with suitable monofilament line, and a short, single-handed spinning rod.
