None of your fancy Fishing lures working? You can make one in a jiffy that just might do the trick: Wrap some aluminum foil around a fishhook. Fringe the foil so that it covers the hook and wiggles invitingly when you reel in the line.

It's an idea that's as old as Tom Sawyer, but worth remembering: A cork makes a great substitute fishing bobber. Drive a staple into the top of the cork, then pull the staple out just a bit so you can slide your Fishing line through it.

You can save a lot of money and grief by storing fishing flies and hooks in film canisters. They don't take up much room in a Fishing vest, and if you do drop one in a stream, the airtight lid will keep it floating long enough for you to ...well ... fish it out.

Old unused keys make great weights for your Fishing line. Since they already have a hole in them, attaching them to the line is a cinch. Whenever you come across an unidentified key, toss it into your tackle box.

Salmon fishermen in the Pacific Northwest spray their lures with WD-40 because it attracts fish and disguises the human odor that can scare them off and keep them from biting. You can increase the catch on your next Fishing trip by bringing a can of WD-40 along with you and spraying it on your lures or live bait before you cast. But first check local regulations to make sure the use of chemical-laced lures and bait is legal in your state.
