Facts about Trout

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

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.

Which Pole Is Best For Trolling?

Trolling is a form of fishing done from a moving boat with a specially designed rod. Commercial fishing and guided fishing tours make use of trolling as their primary form of fishing. Trolling rods need to be stronger than other rods to be able to take the pressure of being dragged behind a boat, as well as fighting the larger fish that often come with this method of fishing. Here are a few of the very best trolling rods:

The Shimano Talora is a trolling rod series from Shimano. They range from 7 to 10 feet in length, are power rated medium or medium-heavy and can handle 10 to 30 pound test. The TLA-80MRG-2 specifically appeals to salmon anglers because of its standard issue roller guides for copper wire line.

The Okuma Convector GL series is designed to cover just about any big water trolling operation. They have technique-specific rods and rods for nearly any species you might be fishing for. The Okuma rods are sturdy and built to last.

The Shakespeare Ugly Stick is 8 to 10 feet in length and rated for 12 to 30 pound test. It is a sturdy rod with a reasonable price-tag.

Lake VS. Reservoire: Best Places For Fishing

If you are looking for an outdoor adventure, consider going fishing. Fishing is a relaxing pastime enjoyed by millions of Americans. When fishing, you will have many choices on location. The biggest choice is a lake or reservoir. While they are similar in many ways, the two locations do have some stark differences.

Reservoirs are man–made and lakes occur naturally. Generally, a lake will offer deeper fishing waters. Also, a lake may have a wider variety of fish. When lake fishing, the fish tend to be more active at dusk and dawn. At a reservoir, fish will be active at all times. Fish tend to be easier to catch in a reservoir. This is because the water tends to flow upwards. When fishing in a reservoir, look for river arms and feeder creeks. These are popular feeding spots for many fish. The shallow water of a reservoir may make some fish more aggressive. If you insist on fishing a reservoir, look for a spot that is not as shallow. Whether you choose to fish on a lake or at a reservoir, look for vegetation. Vegetation tends to attract fish. Also, fish are attracted to docks and other coverings. Lakes and reservoirs offer advantages and disadvantages. Experiment with each to find the perfect fishing spot.
