1. Deep Water - In any small river or stream there will be a series of riffles (shallow water), runs (deeper flowing water), and pools(the deepest water with least current).

2. Bottom - When worm fishing you will have the most success when your worm is bounding along the bottom naturally, with the current. The best way to achieve this is to attach your hooks to your line using a small barrel swivel and use small slit shot sinkers as weight. Split shot are then added or removed dependent on the depth of the water and current flow to keep your worm bouncing along the bottom.

3. Gang Hooks - while worm fishing one of the most crucial points is that your bait look as natural as imaginable. You want your worm to look like, well a worm, and this is accomplished through the use of gang hooks. Gang hooks are simply a pair of small hooks tied in tandem which enable worms to be represented in an extended and natural manner.

4. Clean Hands - Any aromas that are on your hands will carry-over to your worm and cost you bites. This being particularly true with larger, more veteran fish. For this reason you want to make sure that your hands are free from any unnatural scents. This can be established either by using odor neutralizing soap or by rubbing your hands in a handful of grass or dirt before baiting up. Clean hands make a difference when worm fishing.

Apply one or all of these tips sooner instead of later and you will become more successful in worm fishing.
