Facts about Trout
You may have watched a few fishing shows on your direct tv business channels in the break room but when you’re actually standing knee deep in rushing water do you really know what to expect? Here are a few things to note when you’re hooking one of our favorite types of fish: River Trout.
Where they live: River trout love the current but even better than that they love the cool pools that form when the water stops rushing. These are your best bets for caching a big one but don’t stand IN them – stand in the current and aim that way.
Trout eat lots of stuff: Don’t worry about worms – trout don’t really bit on the sqirmers. They do, however, love salamanders and tiny lizards and hey, you can catch those yourself! If all else fails open up a can of corn and bait one – they love the small, sweet kernels.
Trout are bony: Unlike some similarly sized fish, trout aren’t the meatiest fish in the world. If you catch one make sure it’s over a pound to give you enough meat to make it worth the trouble – if it’s smaller, let it go.
