Trout fishing guide - absolutely important basics

All the romance of trout fishing exists in the mind of the angler and is in no way shared by the fish. ~Harold F. Blaisdell, The Philosophical Fisherman.

Trout fishermen thoroughly enjoy trout fishing as a sport or for more serious economic or research reasons. Knowing exactly where to find the sublimely sweet fish and how to catch them is the fisherman's joy. This guide will make any aspiring trout fisherman's dream come true:

First and foremost, trout fishing requires an understanding of trout habits. There are many types of trout including rainbow trout, brown trout and golden trout. Trout prefer moving cool waters and are found in both salty and fresh water bodies, which leads to the reference lake trout, brook trout or sea trout. Trout can live to an average of 7 years and grow as big as 27 kgs! It is difficult to describe a particular trout species by its color as the same species in a different environment adapts a different color. For instance, ocean trout are silverfish while river trout have brown dots and those found in alpine rivers are greenish.

Trout are predatorial fish, which aggressively look for food when they are hungry, snapping at flies, worms and even smaller fish. They are therefore likely to find even an artificial lure difficult to resist, thinking of it as the real thing. A good lure would be an exact depiction of the juiciest worm, tastiest fly or grubbiest spider made by your local fisherman's supply store. It is important to figure out which kind of trout you are out to fish and what they eat before finding an appropriate lure.

Every trout fisherman has his own theory on the best time for trout fishing depending on their personal success. Some claim its better in the mornings and evenings while others insist they've caught trout in the middle of the day! Some fishing gurus give the best times to fish various varieties in the summer, spring and autumn. The crux of the matter is that the time of day does not matter as much as the technique applied in catching the fish.

When fishing, it is important to remember that trout are very sensitive fish and scatter in alarm at the slightest irritation. It is therefore prudent to fish when it is quiet and there is not much activity around such as other fishermen. The clearer the water, the more likely the catch. This is because the fish will easily see your lure and come for it. However, very still waters may be disadvantageous as they cause a mirror effect which when slightly disturbed scares the fish away. Windy days are also not the best to go fishing as they disturb the water and scare away the fish. Due to this it would be wise to cast your line in an expert manner disturbing the water as little as possible and let your lure move slowly giving the fish an impression of a real bite-able bug.

Furthermore, remember to dress appropriately for your day out fishing. In the winter, early mornings or dusks, put on layered clothing and hats that will keep you warm and are easy to remove if you get too warm. When trout fishing just as in any other hunting experience, think like the prey and you will surely catch it!
