Software Can Help You Catch More Trout!
Most anglers would rather be out fishing than sitting in front of their computers (me included). However, did you know that there’s a software program specifically designed to help you become a better angler and catch more fish?Advanced anglers know that catching fish is more skill than just luck. These anglers catch more fish than others because they study the science behind fishing. They learn how fish behave in various water and weather conditions. They learn how water temperatures, dissolved oxygen levels and food sources affect where trout may be hanging out. Advanced anglers also understand that their offering (lure or bait) will look different underwater depending on water color, clarity and lighting conditions (sunny, cloudy, nighttime, etc.). They learn that some colors work better in certain conditions and will tailor their lure selection based on this knowledge.It can take years to learn all of this information and how it relates to catching fish. But many anglers don’t pay much attention to these details. This is where software can help!We’ve developed a software program to track these important details for you. It’s called, Fish Tracker. All you have to do is enter the relevant information after you catch a fish and let the program do the rest. Fish Tracker will keep track of all of your catches and the details surrounding them. Then it will analyze the data for you and present it in a brief report so you can easily see what worked in the past. This information can save you hours of frustration when fishing.The cool thing about Fish Tracker is that you can sort information by fishing spots, weather conditions, species, water temperature, etc. You can also track more than one angler’s catches and you can upload photos too. So you can keep track of your kid’s catches too. Nothing like a little family competition!While there’s other software programs out there, Fish Tracker is simple to use and designed for the average angler – so it’s less expensive than other programs. The only downside is that it’s not MAC compatible (sorry MAC users).Our goal has always been to help you catch more trout … and we’ve developed Fish Tracker to help you do just that. Not sure if Fish Tracker is for you? No problem, we’ve developed a trial version of Fish Tracker so you can try it before you buy it. For more information about Fish Tracker, click here.

What Lure Works Best for Trout Fishing?
One of the questions I get asked a lot is, “What lure works best for trout fishing?” Of course there are different variations of this question, such as “What lure works best in lakes?”, etc. While the question is simple enough, the answer is not. There are too many different variables involved in fishing to say that one lure works best. In fact, one of the biggest frustrations in trout fishing is that one lure may work great one day and not all the next. Why? There are a lot of possible reasons for this.Several variables affect trout fishing including:Water temperatureWater clarityWater colorWeather conditions (sunny, cloudy, windy, rain, ice, snow, etc.)Season (spring, fall, winter, summer)Available food sources Pressure from other anglersThese are only a few of the variables which affect trout fishing. And of course, each of the variables mentioned above not only affect trout, but also your lure selection. The reason why is too complicated to explain in a blog post, but are addressed in the Trout Fishing Tips eBook.But in short, the variables mentioned above affect how your lure looks underwater to trout. These variables also influence trout activity and feeding habits. Trout are sluggish in very cold water and therefore might need a bit more flash to entice them into striking. And yet too much flash, might scare them off. Water color and clarity can affect a trout’s ability to see your lure. A bright red lure in your tackle box will appear black in blue water. That’s because red is filtered out in blue water. The deeper the lure is fished, the blacker it will appear under water. This is just one example of how water color and clarity can affect how trout see your lure under water.Advanced anglers have observed that dark colored lures tend to work well on overcast days, murky water and when fishing at night. Likewise, nickel and silver lures tend to work better on bright sunny days. These are some of the reasons that a lure may work well one day and not the next. There’s just too many variables involved in fishing.The real key to successful trout fishing is to understand trout: their physical needs as well as how their environment affects them. This understanding will help you in turn better understand how different lures, baits, and fishing tactics affect your ability to catch trout. Advanced anglers will pay attention to all of these factors and take note of what lure, bait or fishing tactic worked given a certain set of conditions. Often times, they will keep track of these details in a fishing log or fishing software program. After a while, they’ll start to notice trends which will help them make better lure selections, etc. So while there’s no real answer to the question, “What lure works best for trout fishing?”, hopefully the information above will help you understand some of the variables affecting your lure selection.
