from: Kyle BesserThere are different types of trout species. When it comes to trout fishing, it is important that you know more about the different types of trout, where they live and what they eat. The more you learn about the different types of trout and their habits, the better you can be at trout fishing.
A great fisherman always thinks outside the box and considers all of his trout fishing options. If you want to be a great at trout fishing, you need to be prepared for anything and be flexible and willing to change your trout fishing tactics if need be. Trout are often unpredictable and you need to be ready to change your change your trout fishing tactics when the trout fishing tactics you are using aren't working.
There are three very popular types of trout:
Speckled trout (brook trout)
Rainbow trout
Brown trout
The species and type of the trout will depend on where you are fishing and what part of the world you are in. Trout are found in many freshwater streams, lakes and rivers across the globe, particularly in the United States and Canada where the sport of trout fishing is popular.
Brook trout (speckled trout) thrive in smaller streams of good water quality, in pools of water more shallow than where you typically find other types of trout, hence their name. Brook trout tend to be very aggressive. Brook trout are smaller in size that rainbow trout or brown trout. Usually brook trout are smaller than 14 inches in length.
Rainbow trout are typically native to the west coast but due to stocking, they are found in many other areas as well. Rainbow trout occupy large water of streams and rivers and have different habitats than the other two types. Rainbow trout are famous for their "tail-walking" which is similar to water acrobats and is quite exciting for many fishermen to watch.
Brown trout are originally from Europe and are the most abundant trout in many areas of America. Brown trout are usually a bit more difficult to catch as they are wary of fishing lures and bait and not aggressive like the brook trout. You will need a bit more patience when fishing for brown trout. Brown trout are usually found in deeper pools of water and most often feed early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Brown trout get larger than the other types of trout and can be as much as 25 inches in length in many cases, especially in the south.
The more you know about the type of trout you are fishing, the better able you will be to catch them. You also need to know as much as possible about the water that you are fishing from. What is the temperature and climate? How long have trout been in those waters? Are the trout within a public or government owned zone or park that has regulations?
What is the temperament of the water in the specific area you are looking to fish at? Have you fished there before? Does it tend to be a good fishing area? Is it overcrowded? Learn as much as you can and you will be more successful in your trout fishing attempts.
