Trout Species - Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout
Rainbow Trout: Few freshwater fish can match the fighting spiritand beauty of a Rainbow Trout.
The Rainbow Trout is a well-traveled species of fish. Originally,the Rainbow Trout was found in the coastal rivers in the UnitedStates on the west coast but today, Rainbow Trout are foundthroughout the United States, as well as in the cold-waterstreams of South America, Europe, New Zealand and even Australia.
The reason for the wide range of Rainbow Trout in the U.S. isthat Rainbow Trout are relatively easy to transplant. Virtuallyall areas that Rainbow Trout now inhabit are due to environmentaltransplants ? both intentionally or unintentionally.
Trout Species - Cutthroat Trout and Golden Trout
Cutthroat Trout: Cutthroat Trout are generally found only in highalpine lakes or in some selected areas of the Pacific Northwest.
The Cutthroat Trout is the original trout of the Rocky Mountains.Unlike Brown Trout which were originally introduced to theEastern United States, Cutthroat Trout are originally from theWestern half of the United States.
What separates the Cutthroat Trout from other trout is thatCutthroat Trout are found primarily in remote and pristinelocations. Unlike their larger cousins, the rainbows and thebrowns, Cutthroat Trout tend to fare poorly in highly competitiveenvironments ? especially when predatory fish like Pike areintroduced into their waters. As such, the range of the CutthroatTrout has been driven back over the years.
Three Main Trout Senses
An angler should therefore become familiar with the three main senses a trout uses. These are:
Smell:
Trout have amazing powers of smell. For humans, trying to understand smell underwater is rather difficult since we can?t do it. However, trout have no difficulty smelling underwater, so it is worth an anglers time to make sure that they aren?t introducing foreign smells into a trout stream (which can warn a trout to a lurking danger such as a fisherman.)
When fly fishing for trout, do your best to avoid any artificial smells that are completely foreign to a trout stream. Avoiding these smells, though, of often easier said than done, as the sources of these smells can come from many sources. Fly line cleaners, fly floatants, epoxies and glue can all contribute alien smells to a trout stream. Other things such as aftershave, deodorant and even the smell of your clothing can all tip off a trout that an angler is near.
Trout Fishing Guide
Trout fishing is a great adventure sport. It is a fresh-water sport. It is usually carried out on the river-shores and ice-capped mountain streams. Fast and high altitude streams at the river and lakes are ideal for trout fishing. It is a fun and challenging sport.
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
Fishing Canada for Lake Trout
Just the idea of battling a huge lake trout lures anglers to all the remote lakes as far north as the Arctic Circle in Canada. These areas yield many 30 to 40 pound lunker lake trout each year.
In some areas in Canada, the lake trout are also called Mackinaw or grey trout, but the most common nickname given lake trout is simply lakers. Lake trout resemble brook trout, except the tails of lake trout are deeply forked, while those of the brook trout are nearly square. Lake trout in the Great Lakes are silvery-grey with white spots. Elsewhere, they have light spots on a background that may vary from dark green to brown or black.
