Down down in here and pinch your line a little bit. So having having just the right amount of leader is fine if you're going to have a ton of line.

What is the best rig to catch trout?
The best method for catching trout here is known as the Floating Bait Rig. We recommend this setup. The sliding sinker allows the trout to pick up the bait and not feel the weight, which might make the fish spit out the hook. The size of the weight depends on the time of year.

Set the flag. And place the tip up in the hole. Check your tip ups periodically to make sure your bait is still on and clear ice and slush from the hole on a cold day they can easily get frozen.

Line for your tip up and we're going to do that just using a barrel swivel tie an improved clinch knot moisten it a little bit pull it tight.
How much line should be on a tip up?
A preference for me would be to place about 50-75 yards of Dacron line on each spool of my tip-ups. Considering that this is 150-225 feet of line, it will suffice for most fishing conditions apart from perhaps fishing for lake trout and water depths of 60-80 feet.
