From Here to There with Trout

By: Spence Talbots..

In the world of fishing, the trout is one of the common fish you will try to hit. Trout, however, is somewhat of a catch all term. It turns out there are a wide variety of them and we cover them here so you can speak about them like a pro.

Regardless of where you are in the world, it seems you can always find a fishing hole with trout present. There are so many varieties of trout that you might not recognize them, but just look for fins without spines and a small fin above the tail.

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.

The brown trout is one of the most common fish found. It is a freshwater fish, but variations have adapted to saltwater environments. The brown trout prefers covered areas and lots of oxygen in the water. It also prefers slightly warmer water than other trout.

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.

A hugely common variation of the trout is the rainbow. It is from the salmon family of trout and is very hardy being found in different freshwater locations in forty plus countries. It is distinguished by a red or pink strip on its side.

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.

When it comes to fishing, there is something tempting about finding the biggest fish in a species. The mackinaw is the fish in the trout family. Found primarily in the Great Lakes, the biggest caught to date was over sixty-five 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.
