If the fish aren't biting...

[Kent]

If I'm not getting any action, while fishing for trout, I like to drop to the bottom and after a while of no action I will give it a couple of cranks and jig it a couple of times. I keep repeating this practice until I have reeled to the surface. I also like to drop my jigs a few feet, from the surface, and grab my line to stop the drop, hold it there for a few seconds and repeat until reaching the bottom. I often draw in suspended fish doing either or both of these techniques.
