Knowing Your Trout

By: Spence Talbots..

In every sport, there are certain well known targets. With fishing, the much herald trout is definite deserving of being on the list of most popular fish. Ah, but what is a trout? Turn out there are many different types you will find out on the water.

If you start fishing regularly, the trout will be a fish you face again and again. There is no single trout per se. Instead, it is a term that refers to a wide variety of spineless fish found in a wide variety of variations.

Trout also are found in general geographic profiles. These include lakes, rivers and streams that have cooler water. Given this broad definition, it is hardly a surprise that they are found in Asia, North American, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Everyone has their favorite trout, but the brown trout is probably one of the most common you will run across. It can be found in just about any type of water, and even has saltwater variations. In general, it is brown and prefers cooler water with cover.

If you love to use flies, the cutthroat is probably the trout at the top of your list. A variation of the salmon trout tree, it is found mostly in Canada and the northern US. The fish is so varied that it is difficult to describe it. Colors, size and characteristics vary.

Another common and much loved trout is the rainbow. Another member of the salmon family, it is known by its reddish or pinkish stripe on the side. Rainbows prefer cooler water and are freshwater fish. A variation, however, prefers the saltwater environment.

When it comes to trout, the steelhead carries a special place in most peoples’ hearts. A good game fish, it is the saltwater version of the rainbow. It tends to be much bigger than its brother fish and is distinguished by its lack of a strip on its side.

The lake trout is better known as the mackinaw. It is found throughout many larger freshwater lakes in North America and is considered a great game fish. It is also the biggest trout on average with the world record being 65 pounds.

Fishing is one of those sports you can enjoy day in and day out. As the old saying goes, a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. That being said, it is definitely better when the trout are biting and they often are.
