How to Use a Car Key to Fish for Trout
- 1). Thread the fishing line through the car key hole at the top of the car key (the one used to thread the key onto your key chain).
- 2). Loop fishing line through a plastic trout bead and then through a small number 5 fishing hook. The plastic bead will prevent the car key from sliding down over the hook. Tie the hook to the line using a fisherman's knot.
- 3). Throw the line into the stream while holding the end of the line with your foot. Pull the line in, tugging at it slightly to make the key wobble and flash in the water like a lure. When a trout strikes to key, tug and set the hook in its mouth.
