As a fisherman, it is important that you always



consider what type of trout you are after and

their feeding habits to better understand and

plan your approach.

There are three very popular types of trout:

? Speckled trout (brook trout)

? Rainbow trout

? Brown trout

The species and type will depend on where you are

fishing at and what part of the world you are in.

Brook trout (speckled trout) thrive in smaller

streams of good water quality, in pools of water

more shallow than where you typically find other

types of trout. They are smaller in size than

other trouts but can be very aggressive.

Rainbow trout are typically native to the west

coast of USA but due to stocking, they are found

in many other areas as well. They occupy large

water of streams and rivers and have different

habitats than the other two types. They are

famous for their "tail-walking" which is similar

to water acrobats and is quite exciting for many

fishermen to watch.

The Brown trout is larger in size compared to the

Brook trout and the Rainbow trout. It is found in

abundance in many areas of Europe and USA. This

type of trout are usually more difficult to catch

as they are wary of fishing lures and bait and

not aggressive as the brook trout. More patience

are required when fishing for brown trout. They

are usually found in deeper pools of water and

most often feed early in the morning or late in

the afternoon.

Before you set off for your trout fishing trip,

do you homework. Find out as much about the area/

streams/rivers that you will be fishing on. Are

there many fishermen fishing there too? What's

the temperature and climate? Is the area a public

or government owned that has regulations? Go on

the internet and join a forum so you can ask

around people who have fished there before.

The more you know about the area and the fish

that you plan to catch, they more successful you

will be in your trout fishing attempts.
