Trout Fishing help and tips
Imagine standing on the bank
of a clear, cool stream casting into a pool just outside of the swiftly moving
current. Before you realize it, you have a strike. You quickly set the hook and
the fight is on. You can see the fish flip and thrash in the water, trying to
escape the bite of the hook that's embedded in its mouth. It's a good sized
fish. As you land it you realize you've caught a beautiful trout.
Trout is the name that's shared by several fish species. Trout are members of
the salmon family. There are several species of trout, including brown,
brook, rainbow, cutthroat and steelhead. There are also some species of sea
trout. These species feed on insects, insect larvae, crustaceans and smaller
fish. Trout are native to Asia, Europe and North America. During the 19th
century, they were introduced to Australia and New Zealand by enthusiastic
anglers.
Trout can be found in easily recognizable narrow areas in
cool lakes, rivers and streams where fast, rapidly moving water meets slow, and
where deep water meets shallow. They can also be found where rocks and rock
shelves offer tranquil relief from the current. Rainbow trout feed in faster
water that runs approximately six feet per second. Other species of trout feed
in slower waters where water runs approximately one foot per second.
If you are fishing a stream where brook, brown cutthroat and rainbow are all
found, you will find rainbow at the head of the pool and the other species in
the middle and at the tail of the pool. They also like to hang around large
objects that slow the current, such as rocks or rock shelves.
Trout
like to rest where fast water meets slow and adjacent to the main current. Find
the main current by watching bubbles and debris that moves through the pool or
run. Look to the head of the pool and find where the faster water spills into
it. Trace its path through the pool to find the places where trout lurk,
waiting for prey. When a tree falls into the water at a right angle to the
current and the trunk is still rooted in the bank, anglers call it a sweeper.
The best places to fish are just outside of the branches, in front of the
crotch where the sweeper meets the bank.
There are a wide variety of
both live and artificial baits that will get you a good sized trout. Cured
salmon eggs, earthworms, marshmallows, insects, insect larvae, kernel corn, egg
sacs, crayfish, artificial and live minnows, spinners, spoons, Mepps and wet
and dry flies are all great when fishing for trout.
If you are
still-fishing for trout, you will need a graphite or fiberglass rod that is
between 6 and 7 feet in length and a basic reel. Use 8 to 10 pound-test line, a
swivel, a leader and live or artificial bait as mentioned above. If you are fly
fishing for trout, you will need a 9 foot graphite or fiberglass fly rod to
allow you to cover the widest range. Add 75 feet of line to your reel if you
plan to catch trout that is over 4 pounds. You will also need thigh or chest
waders, a fisherman's vest with lots of pockets for flies, a knife and a
fishing basket for your catch. Both wet and dry flies can be used to fish for
trout.
If you need advice on trout fishing or help to choose your
trout fishing equipment, ask a family member, a friend or a staff member of the
local bait and tackle store. Experienced anglers can give you tips that will
make your trout fishing experience a positive one.
