There are many anglers who spend some or all of their fishing time still fishing for trout. By 'still fishing' I simply mean casting their line out, letting it sink, tightening the line and waiting for bites. This is 'still fishing', and for those of us who don't have boats, it's a great way to catch trout out of ponds and small lakes.

The only downfall to this type of fishing (at least to me personally) is that in most cases synthetic trout bait is used and mostly stocked trout are caught. I don't know what it is, but for me, catching trout that grow up in a tank is weird. Many times when you catch these stocked trout they have some or all of their fins rubbed off (from the tank), and to me, just seems unnatural. But, it is what it is, and when I have a hankering for catching a trout, still fishing for some of these "finless wonders" will usually fills my need.

Lets put my personal feelings aside and focus on the issue, which is still fishing for trout. When still fishing for trout, 90% of the time the bait of choice is synthetic trout bait, and for good reason. These baits work! Trout, especially stocked trout, love these synthetic trout baits, and tend to bite them readily. The key with these types of baits is that they float, and if you use one that doesn't float, buy one that does.

The most effective rig that I've ever seen for still fishing synthetic trout baits is toi use a gang hook rig. What's a gang hook rig? It's pretty simple. Take the end of your line and slip on and egg sinker (1/4 to 3/8 ounce). Now tie on a small barrel swivel (size 10 to 12) and on the opposite end of the barrel swivel tie on a set of pre-tied gang hooks. This is a gang hook rig. Now add your favorite floating synthetic trout bait to each hook (enough to completely cover each hook). This rig is then cast out and still fished like you normally would.

Still fishing for trout, with the rig described above is amazingly effective. You see, the bait floats above any underwater debris, thus increasing your bite rates. The gang hook rig works and works well. When you get that hankering for catching a trout (no matter how many fins it has) the gang hook rig is a great way to go, when still fishing for trout.

Filling an Athlete’s “emotional Tank”

How can parents and coaches fill a young athlete’s “emotional tank?”

Coaches need to praise kids five times before they provide one piece of constructive criticism, says David Jacobson, a spokesman for the Positive Coaching Alliance, based at Stanford University.

“We liken a child’s emotional tank to a car’s gas tank. When the tank is full, it runs well. When it’s drained, it doesn’t run well,” he explains.

To fill a child’s or teen’s tank, parents and coaches need to provide a steady flow of specific, truthful praise, Jacobson says. When you do this, sports kids are more confident. They’re also more open to criticism and more likely to listen to what the coach or parent has to say.

“When you’re praising, you’re creating a great feeling for the child so he or she wants to continue the work required to excel as an athlete and take away all the life lessons that sports has to offer,” he says.

It’s critical to build young athletes’ confidence by praising them. For many young athletes, confidence is fragile and wavers easily depending on their performance and feedback from parents and coaches. They’re less likely to feel confident if they make mistakes or lose a match and get criticized.

One of your goals is to help your child develop a more stable level of confidence. Help them through the bumps in the confidence roller coaster.

Here’s another way to fill your kids’ emotional tanks and boost their confidence: Teach them how to praise themselves. Help your kids create a confidence resume. It may include a fun practice, a past experience, a successful game, skills improvement or good coaching. Ask your kids to review their confidence resumes before competing.

To develop confidence, kids, should have a “highlight reel” in their heads just before a game, says Robert Troutwine, Ph.D., founder of Troutwine and Associates. That’s a mental image of their most amazing play, move or moment in sports. It’s an image of a play, move or moment that makes them feel on top of the world!

Remember: The last thing we want is for your young athletes to mentally rehearse bad plays, moves or moments in sports!

Why? Because they’ll be practicing the wrong things. They’ll allow self-doubt to creep into their minds. They’ll be totally distracted!

However, playing in their heads a highlight reel that’s a totally awesome moment will help them feel confident—it will give them the feeling they can and will succeed.

How to properly load stainless steel reels for developing?

So lately I got a stainless steel tank for darkoom use. Having previously used the notoriously easy to load Paterson system, the metal reels are much harder. The problem is that I'm getting kinks in the film when I load into the reel and after I develop, I notice patches of white, undeveloped sections where the film kinked and touched one another, preventing chemicals from reaching it. This has cost me several frames, including a rather nice pan of a bus.

I'm loading by cutting off the leader and wrapping the rebate around the center post of the reel, then slowly winding film into the reel from the center outwards.

This is with 35mm by the way. I cannot imagine how hard it would be to load 120 into these things.

Its just a question of practice. After years of using these I find the Paterson notoriously difficult.

If you have the type of reel that has the metal prongs, snip the film so you have intact sprocket holes at the edge. This part can be done in the light - the leader has been exposed anyway. Ease a tad out of the cartridge, snip, ease the film onto the sprockets or under the wire and into the bag or loading room you go. You can now choose to remove the film from the cartridge or not - and I found it easier not to remove the film from the cartridge when I first began. Hold the film/cartridge in your right hand and the reel in your left, gently guide the film edges with your right finger and thumb and rotate the reel counterclockwise with your left hand in 1/4 turns. Gently press the edges of the film with your thumb and index finger so it is slightly arched. The film should slide onto the reel with no crinkle noises. If you hear crinkling, back the film off gently and try again. When you're done, snip the tail off of the cartridge and with your pinky gently guide it onto the reel. Leaving it in the cartridge does risk a scratch from dust, but I felt this was more than offset by proper loading and no little 1/2 moon fingerprints. If you choose to take it out of the cartridge before loading, be sure it is wound up tightly and that your hands are dry (no sweat!) Then the only thing that will get you good at this is practice. Practice. Practice. Buy some cheap color negative and practice with your eyes closed. And then it'll be like riding a bike.
