Trout Species ? Brook Trout
Brook Trout: Frequently gullible, yet extremely tasty, BrookTrout are wonderful trout to fish for - especially since theyfrequently inhabit the most beautiful stream settings in the U.S. The Brook Trout was originally found in the Midwest and along theEast Coast. It is sort of the Eastern counterpart to the WesternCutthroat trout ? with its range extending all the way fromCanada down to the streams in Georgia. Interestingly, the BrookTrout is not even part of the trout family, but instead belongsto the Char family of fish that also includes the Lake Trout andDolly Varden. Brook Trout live in clear, cold waters. Due to the cold watersand the fact that Brook Trout live a shorter life generally thanrainbow and Brown Trout, Brook Trout usually do not grow nearlyas big. Today, most of the best Brook Trout fishing is no longer foundout East. The cold, clear water that Brook Trout prefer no longer existslike it use to. Instead, Brook Trout are mainly found in theWestern United States (mainly due to transplanting) in the colderrivers and lakes of the Rocky Mountains - especially in higherlakes that often require hiking to reach. Canada also continuesof provide excellent fishing for Brook Trout, while Argentina isnow also home to some of the worlds' largest Brook Trout. Brook Trout are also small due to another factor ? over planting.Brook Trout have been so extensively planted in many lakes andstreams that there are starting to be too many of them. Thisovercrowding often leads to stunted growth. Of course, the plusside of this is that these small Brook Trout are extremely easyto catch and they taste good, too! Of all the trout in the world,for the angler who absolutely must take home some fish at the endof the day, taking home some Brook Trout is a good way to satisfythe palette without compromising the overall fishing quality. The Brook Trout is a beautiful fish. It's sides and back consistof various shades of gunmetal gray, with highlights of orange,red and cream spots. The fins of a Brook Trout also have a whiteedge around them and during spawning season, the bottom of theBrook Trout turns a beautiful orange-red color. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

Where The Bassalo Roam Have you ever thought why fishing timbers is so productive? Well, for one, most anglers don't want to fish them because they're afraid of losing a $5.00 lure. This makes it better for us that are willing to take the risk. Sure, you get those who will throw a spinnerbait on the top of the timber but the fish are in the timber. You need to throw crankbaits or pitch a tube or jig to catch the fish. Most of the fish never see a spinnerbait. Also everyone knows that the bass will use that cover to break free if they can, again losing a lure in some cases. Are You Interested in Alaska Trout Fishing?

Fishing Equipment Tips Cheap Sinkers Why Water Skiing and Fishing Dont Mix With the fourth of July weekend freshly behind us, I am reminded of one of the darker moments in a long and illustrious series of dark fishing moments.... 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. The Joys of Trout Fishing The thrill of trout fishing! It is the best, isn't it?

Are they out in open water? What?This will depend on the lake, the time of year, the time of day and many other factors such as air and water temperature. There is no short answer; no hard and fast rule. But mostly, to put yourself on fish, you are going to be looking for cover and structure.Cover is vegetation and things like that where bass can hide. Structure is things like drop offs, road beds, creeks, stumps and such.There is a good way to combine these and that is to look for points on the lake; especially points near quick drop offs and creek channels.Points are areas of the shore that come to a 'point' in the lake. Often these will be on the outside of, or the entrance to, coves, but not always. That's just to give you an idea of how one might look. It simply sticks out from the rest of the shoreline.Quick drop offs are important because bass will hang around these points and depend on the drop offs as an escape route in case trouble comes calling. So if you see a point in just a few feet of water, and see that not too far from the point the water quickly gets deep, this point might be a good prospect for holding fish.The point itself should be fished thoroughly, but you should also seek bass along the sides of points, especially if there is cover like grass, weeds, reeds, etc. If the point is off of a cove, very early morning or the evening might be a good time to fish the cove. But, as the day progresses hit the points.If you don't find the bass on the point, try the deeper water next to the point. They may have retreated to it as the daylight and the heat came. Bass try to avoid sunlight because it hurts their eyes.I prefer to use plastics on points; worms, crawfish and lizards. I like to Texas Rig these to be weedless. I also like to use a Carolina Rig which helps to keep the bait in the strike zone longer and gives it a little more action. You could also do well using a spinnerbait or crankbait.So, very early in the morning hit the coves. As the bite slows, you will want to move out to the points where the fish have gone. Then, as that bite slows, try fishing plastics in the deeper waters next to the points. As evening comes on, you will reverse this process, heading back to the points, then into the coves.It's important to understand the movement of the fish and keep up with them. Certainly, you will find a lone drifter now and then, but using this method you will be much more likely to be consistent in your catch.After all, you are out there to catch bass, right? Good luck.
