Trout Fishing Tips

If you don't where the trout are it follows that you are not going to catch any!

So one of the fundamentals you need to know to be successful at trout fishing is knowing where to find them.

So how do you go about locating trout?

Basically you need to know how to read the different areas of streams and rivers...a craft commonly known as stream craft but to really capitalize on your stream craft know-how you first have to take into consideration what the trout's main concerns are...

And they are:

1. Food
2. Comfort
3. Safety

Now take a trout's feeding habits how is that going to impact your trout fishing?

Well...like most animals, a trout would like to feed in relative comfort and safety. Trout genenerally don't like intense light and as we know light intensity varies from season to season.

So knowing this, you'd probably be more successful trout fishing during periods when there isn't much strong light--in other words early morning and late afternoon (when the light is fading)

Another aspect of honing your stream craft abilities, is taking into consideration the safety concerns a trout may have.

Trout Fishing | What Has Smell Got To Do With Anything?

Trout Fishing Tip
Okay, so vision plays a pretty big role in a trout's everyday life...but what about smell, does it play a role?

Many people are under the false impression that smell does not travel underwater. Well simply put...They are wrong! Such thinking only results in poor catches. Smell actually travels pretty well underwater as water soluble particles and this has a direct impact on you when you go trout fishing.

Trout are believed to have a razor sharp sense of smell, so much so that it is believed they have the ability to determine what type of creature passed through the water, the direction it was going and approximately how long ago...

So if you're prone to lighting up and sitting back while waiting for that first bite be aware that the odor of your cigarette is very apparent to the trout. Also if you used any hand lotion or suntan lotion it's best to wash your hands to get rid of the scent which may well keep the trout at bay.

The positive aspect about the trout's sense of smell from your point of view as an angler is that you can use this to your advantage:

You can make your spinners more appealing to the trout by rubbing scents on them.

Trout Are Smart As People

Trout Fishing Tip

"Trout Are Smart As People" Have you ever heard that before? There are plenty of anglers out there who really believe that trout are as smart as people. Why? Because trout fishing is particularly challenging. True...but that doesn't mean that trout are as smart as we are.

In truth, if you wish to avoid that not-so-exclusive club of anglers who believe that trout are as smart as we are you need to:

Know how trout think
Know what scares a trout
Understand what motivates a trout
Know what trout like to eat

Let me give you an example about how knowing the fundamentals of trouts in general will greatly increase your success rate.

Why Is It That A Trout Can See Me A Mile Off?

Trout don't have a sixth sense as some anglers are fond of joking...half believingly! But what they do have is well developed senses, especially vision. Consider how a trout sees for instance. Whilst under water the trout can see you onshore despite the fact it can be several feet from the shore and beneath the water surface. How does the trout manage this...

Becuase of the way light behaves at the interface of two different mediums, in this case between water and air. When light hits the water it slows and bends (refraction--Snell's Law). Say the light hits the water at an angle of 10 degrees to the horizontal axis, it bends or refracts to approximately 48 degrees on the same axis. This explains why the trout can see you even though you are well inshore.

That is why staying low to the ground as you approach a body of water and even whilst actually trout fishing will dramatically improve your success rate.

This is just one example of the many trout fishing tips you'll get from what many people are calling the Trout Fishing Bible!

Trout Fishing Tip

In case you are new to fishing, and in particular to trout fishing I shall begin with a small introduction about trout as a species;

The trout is a member of the Salmonidea family.

There're a vast number of different species of trout of which perhaps the best well known include the Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Brook Trout, Bull Trout, Lake Trout, Steelhead Trout, and Golden Trout which is also known in some places as Palomino Trout.
Trout originally came from the Northern Hemisphere and were exported worldwide. Because trout make for particularly lively and exciting fishing trout fishing soon became very popular.

Trout can be found practically all over the world including the cooler regions of South America, Australia, New Zealand, as well as South Africa for the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere trout are found in both America and Europe. Trout can even be found in the cooler regions of Asia.

COMMON TROUT SPECIES
The most common species of trout are the Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, and Cutthroat Trout. Trout are particularly adaptive species and aided and abetted by humans they've been able to migrate all across the globe.

TROUT APPEARANCE
In general all trout behave and appear similar. The male and female trout have distinctive differentiating characteristics. The male trout usually has a hook on the lower jaw while the female doesn't. The distinctive charactersitic of the female trout is an egg sac next to the stomach though this is not visible until after the fish has been gutted. Another distinguishing factor is that the head of the male trout tends to be more pointed while that of the female trout is generally rounded.
