Fishing for Brookies in a pond/lake

15 May 2015 - 10:54 PM

Hi everyone, newbie here. I have a question for only the pro's, I've fished for brookies here in NL all my life,but there seems to be something that I'm missing when it comes to 1 pond(as we call it) that I fish in. I know that there are brookies in this body of water that are huge, but they seem to be very hard to catch. Spin casting from the shore line is the normal and seems to be the best style of fishing here. I've used all types of lures/spinners and neither seems to stand out above the other. Is there a style like fly fishing/ trolling/ using jiggs/ at night, evening/ morning that have proven to be a better way?  I seem to thnk a southwest wind is the better wind, but late evening with no wind is the best, (really only because you can see when a fish surfaces and gives you that extra encouragement to cast again) There must be a way that I can solve these giant trout, I have caught 2 in my life in this pond, 1 was 19 inchs 3 and half lbs, the other 16 inchs, 3 lbs. I have seen other trout surface that looked to be huge! Thanks for your tips
