spinning for trout

EastTyrone · 2009-07-18 00:18:59

i do a good bit of spinning for trout and have been told that i should always cast against the current and reel as it comes down stream. I have cast into the currnet and reeled in against the current and still have caught fish what is the sense in that rule then lol

No rule: but just this practical consideration. if your lure does not happen to be a very accurate representation of a small fish, the less they see of it the less they see through the illusion. Now if you cast upstream and reel back, you reel it in faster (to keep it working) than if you cast downstream and as it faces the flow the current makes it work, and you reel in slowly.
