By Katherina Hoop


Are you are looking for that perfect trophy trout for your wall? Then you will need to buy the correct equipment and do some studying on the habits of trout. You need to be a "trout specialist" to have the best success. There is much information to learn. A trout isn't going to just snag your hook the minute you put it into the water. They are special and smart and catching them can be a challenge.

Fishing after sunset will give you a better chance to catch the brown trout locally, or anyplace else for that matter. And it really just depends on the recent and current weather conditions. Sometimes trout won't feel safe feeding during the day, so will wait until after sundown to feed. When the temperature at night is in the low 70s, you will also find the fishing conditions more favorable. Do you aspire to catch larger trout? Do you want to take home that trophy? Then you will need to use bigger minnows as your bait. An up spike in oxygen levels can trigger ferocious feeding responses. And that's when your larger minnow baits can produce spectacular results.

For newbie trout fishermen, one of the most testing things is learning where the trout like to congregate. One way to increase this is to up your knowledge and increase your grasp on the function of the water temperature. Some fish don't command the same amounts of dissolved oxygen in the water, than trout do. Regarding the dissolved oxygen concentration, surface action and water temperature each play a major role. Brown and rainbow are examples of trout that will put up with elevated water temperatures, as long as they can get the amount of oxygen they require. Look for areas that have a moving current, if the water is warmer. Ordinarily, you can search for stirs and ripples that transpire because of the moving current. These spots will have a larger amount of oxygen concentration and perhaps the trout you are fishing for. If you have never used live bait for trout, then you must try it because it works very well. This makes you a more well-rounded fishing angler, and you'll need to learn all the tricks you can for trout fishing. One of the favorite live baits for trout are live worms, but be sure you are using the right size hooks, etc. What you want is a hook that lets the worm extend and the trout can recognize it.

There are a lot of trout flies that gives results, but are barely visible to the human eye. Trout, however, have great eyesight. So they are able to see the little, almost invisible flies that disappear for us as they move further away. Besides what kind of fly you use, how you present it to the trout - your technique - will make a difference. It's not easy to fool a trout into thinking that an artificial fly is a real bug, if the actions of the fly don't seem natural to the trout. If you simply observe the behavior of "real" bugs on the water, and copy them, you can solve this problem.

In accordance with the body of water, there are many different factors that play a role on the water level. If it has rained heavily in a certain area, the levels of the water in creeks and streams may raise quite a bit. There are quite a few reasons that make this a really good time to go trout fishing. To start with, the amount of oxygen in the water will be higher, which causes a higher amount of activity among the fish. The higher water levels will provide more shelter from natural killers. Trout tend to feel like they are out of harm's when the water levels are higher than usual and this will cause them to get out and move around more. These are just a few hints that most trout anglers might not even be aware of. But, now you do and you can make use of them and get a hold of a higher number of the elusive trout.

It's hard to see some of the most successful trout fishing flies. But as you should know, trout have an excellent visual acuity. So they are able to see the little, almost invisible flies that disappear for us as they move further away. Besides what kind of fly you use, how you present it to the trout - your technique - will make a difference. A trout isn't going to be fooled by a "bug" that isn't acting normal. That's also why it helps to watch what live and natural flying critters do on the water. Maybe you don't know this, the phases of the moon will have an effect on trout activity and you will see that they move around more when the moon is in the right places during its phases. Evidently, you will have to be fishing out on the water or from a bank, in order to take advantage of it. An additional aspect that has an effect on fish and trout in particular, is the weather. It is essential for you to understand the weather patterns and the effect they will have on the dissolved oxygen in the water. Also, going for trout on a totally clear day with a bright sunny blue sky will be more challenging. Trout have very keen senses and they'll see and hear you coming a lot easier than you would think. You need to be very quiet and of course not be seen, and they can see you up there on the bank.

The first thing to do, if you are serious about trout fishing, is to study the fish and learn as much as you can about them. By their nature, trout have a preference for water with a higher oxygen content. Don't forget this bit of information and, when you are fishing, check out the water to determine which spots might be more oxygenated than others. Water that is agitated contains more oxygen and rises to the surface of the body of water. If you look at the surface, it's a simple matter to recognize spots that are still and others that have become agitated. Is the water churning due to obstacles in the water? This is what you need to look for. How about faster running water rather than slow moving water? Knowing what to look for will bring you to where the trout are; however, even though the signs are easy to spot, you have to look for them.

The first thing you need to do is check out the local conditions. Then, make sure your set up is appropriate for the conditions you find. You won't have anyone to blame but yourself if you don't take the time to do this because you will be fighting against your own laziness. Knowing the "tools of your trade" when it comes to trout fishing will make your fishing trips memorable and rewarding.
