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. Regardless, Rainbow Trout are the most popular types of troutfound in the world today, and are also the most sought aftertrout by fly fishermen. The Rainbow Trout is equally famous for it's acrobatic aerialdisplays and very long runs to avoid being caught. Rainbow Trout are also well-known for being highly selective inwhat they eat. While at other times, they seemingly gorgethemselves on just about everything in sight. Rainbow Trout are easily distinguished by the red stripe thattravels the length of the fish, from the gill plates to the tail.Rainbow Trout also have hundreds of black spots that cover thedorsal of the body (the dorsal part of the body of a trout refersto the "back side" of the fish). Brown Trout : Brown Trout are the "smartest" of the trout family,frequently frustrating beginners and professionals alike. The Brown Trout, which is similar to the Rainbow Trout, is alsofound extensively throughout the world. The Brown Trout wasoriginally a European and Asian fish, but has made its way toNorth America, New Zealand and South America. In the UnitedStates, Brown Trout are found extensively in the Rocky Mountainsand also in Midwestern and Eastern U.S. trout streams. The Brown Trout is famous for its intelligence and cunningability to avoid being caught. Simple fly fishing tactics thatwork for other types of trout often times fail miserably when flyfishing for Brown Trout and often lead anglers to frustration ?especially beginning anglers. Yet this same intelligence makescatching Brown Trout all the more challenging and rewarding,especially since Brown Trout are generally a little bit largerthan their Rainbow Trout cousins. This is due primarily to theirability to live in warmer water (which usually has highernutrients than colder water). Brown Trout are sometimes hatchery raised, although not nearly onthe same scale as the Rainbow Trout. The difficulties in raisingBrown Trout in hatcheries, combined with the desire of anglers tofly fish for the easier to catch Rainbow Trout, have limited thenumbers of Brown Trout raised in hatcheries. Brown Trout are notorious for ruining many fly fishing trips foranglers. The high degree of intelligence displayed by Brown Troutmakes them very difficult to even hook. Once hooked, the realintelligence of the Brown Trout really becomes evident. Insteadof putting on acrobatic displays like the Rainbow Trout, BrownTrout almost always head for every obstacle in the river ? inhopes of entangling and snapping the line. Failing that, it willmake monstrous runs, and even take to the air like the RainbowTrout as a last resort. In short, a Brown Trout will trulyexhaust itself trying to break free from your fishing line, usingevery trick they know to escape. All to often, the trout ends upgetting away since light tippets and tackle are often usuallyused when fly fishing for Brown Trout - leading to many 'the bigone that got away' stories at dinnertime. The Brown Trout is recognized by its butter colored sides and hasblack and red spots following the lateral line of its body. Tomany people, the Brown Trout is rather ugly, especially whenstacked up against a more colorful rainbow or Brook Trout.However, the minute you hook a 20-inch Brown Trout ? you'll thinkit 's the most beautiful fish in the world. If you're an avid Rainbow Trout angler, be warned that the BrownTrout could very well be the primary trout species of the future,so it's best to brush up on your tactics for this wily fish.Brown Trout are remarkably resilient and have a strong instinctto survive. Their ability to live in warmer waters than othertrout, along with their resistance to Whirling Disease, allowsBrown Trout to thrive in areas where Rainbow Trout often struggleto survive. In the years to come, especially if droughtconditions continue in the Rocky Mountains and the climatecontinues to warm, it is quite possible that Brown Trout willbecome the primary trout species in most of the United States. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

Do Fish See in Color Fish do indeed perceive color. Every fly fisher knows that or ought to know that. Like humans, the retina of a fish have rods and cones. Cones are used in the day and rods at night. Color vision evolved to help fish identify potential food. In the environment of the fish, the background will either be the bottom, the water itself, or if looking up for food it could be the sky. The bottom is normally tannish olive to green. When looking across the water, the background appears pale silver blue. But if the water is off color due to algae or high water one must take that into consideration as well. Skylight becomes more important at dusk and dawn when it contains more reds. Colorado Fly Fishing ? Bait Huckin vs. Fly Fishin It was one of those fishing trips.

So if you are still wondering what you should be doing with those fish you caught, I have some help for you. The basic techniques for turning those fish into food are very simple and I have outlined the basic information and cooking methods for you. 10 minutes to the inchWhether you are grilling, frying, baking, poaching, steaming of broiling your fish, the basic rule is that it will take 8-10 minutes of cooking time for every inch of thickness. The biggest mistake most people make in cooking fish is to over cook it. Now if the fish is frozen, count on 20 minutes per inch. It starts at the waterFish can degrade quickly after you catch it. One thing you can do to prevent this is kill the fish as quickly as possible. Smack it in the head with a club, then cut the gills with a knife. This will bleed the fish out quickly and slow down spoilage. You caught it, you clean itOK, so you probably know this already, but you need to clean the innards out, using a sharpknife and your thumb or narrow spoon. The longer you leave that stuff in there, the more chance it will have to start messing with the fish's flavor. When is it done?The classical definition is that fish is done when it hits 160° and the juices run clear. Stick a fork into the thickest portion and twist gently.

There are times when we think we have it all figured out, then days go by without as much as a nibble. What has happened, did we lose our expertise? Are the fish getting smarter? Maybe it's the weather. In fact there are many factors that weigh into whether we are catching fish or just passing time. Even though there are many factors, I would argue there are only 3 main parts to pouring ourselves the perfect fishing cocktail. Since drink names such as "Sex on the Beach" and "Fuzzy Navel" have already been taken, may I suggest "Fish on a Hook?" The drink may be made with any combination of the ingredients. They do not have to be of equal parts, but to make a "Fish on a Hook" all 3 must be present. So put your barkeeper's hat on and let's start.
