All of the long paragraph tips above are great. Just one "tip" I'd like to throw in is don't use anything huge, in this case the "big bait for big fish" rule doesn't work.

Depending on the river, Ive had good luck with worms. One rainbow i caught last year in the fall had a belly full of leaches. I havent managed to catch anything on roe yet :(.

Keep your setup light , if float fishing i stack my weights from bobber (bigger) to hook (smaller) supposed to keep more of a natural looking drift. Also when using bobbers use the ones that allow your line to come directly off the top. This way u can keep your slack line off the water to feel strikes better. I still use a spinning setup but it is a 9ft 6" med action rod. This way when floating a pool i can fish in close and work my way out comfortably. I started out bottom bouncing first couple years. Lost lots and lots of tackle. Switched to float and love it. Loose less tackle and seem to get more hookups. i also usually end up stripping 10 to 15 feet of line off my reel after every couple trips as dragging along rocks and such seems to do a number on it ! Good luck. Looking forward to seeing what other tips come up in this thread ! I am by no means a pro angler for theese species so any info or tips i always take in !
