Turns out I’m not very good a trout fishing. I went to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia this weekend to do a little Trout Fishing. I could not pull one in to save my life. Either I would try to set the hook to hard or the hook would not set at all. Needless to say I am going to go back in a couple of weeks. How can I be a successful trout fisherman?

Couple things:
You may have too much hackle on your fly. I ran into sipping trout this weekend. They would just take part of the fly into the mouth and I would pull it right back out while setting the hook. I went to a smaller fly with less hackle and it took care of it Or you can just trim your hackle on the fly you have.
Also, setting the hook on a trout is simply done by raising your rod tip.
