In fishing, trout are one of the
favorite "fishing friends" of most anglers. These crafty fish are abundant
anywhere. The native habitat of these crafty fish depends on the type of trout.
For brook trout, the native habitat
includes the territory from Labrador westward to the Saskatchewan, while the
rainbow trout is a native of the Pacific slope from Alaska to California.
On the other hand, brown trout has found
its way into the waters of every state in the United States except Florida,
Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, and Texas. It has been reported in the waters of some of these
states, but according to conservation officials, no authentic reports have been
received. It is also found in many parts of Canada.
In trout fishing, there are some factors
that need to be considered in order to have a successful catch.
1. For trout fishing, the leader should
not be greased. It will not sink far enough to cause any difficulty when
picking the line and lure from the water, but if it is allowed to float; it
will cast a shadow on the bottom of the stream which may scare the trout.
2. The trout is one of the fishes that
are usually secured through the use of the dry fly. For trout, the current as
well as the pools should be fished. It may sometimes be a bit difficult to keep
the fly from sinking or dragging because of the various conditions of the
current, but this is a matter that the angler will have to figure out for
himself.
3. It is not good practice when fishing
for trout to fish directly upstream so the flies, line, and leader will float
directly over fish. The fisherman should make the cast from one side of the
stream so the fly will only float over the fish.
4. It is important to make the first cast
the best. A feeding trout will usually strike the first lure presented if it is
cast so that it will float over his private domain. The angler should never
fail to fish the lower end of the pool first even if the trout are rising in
the middle or upper end.
5. Trout are sometimes very moody or
selective and will try the patience of any angler; hence, possibly a fly with
less hackle will do the trick or it may be necessary to use a spent-wing fly or
a fan wing.
Indeed, catching trout fishes can be lots
of fun. The anglers just have to remember these tips in order to have a happy
catch.
