How to catch trout
Trout are an interesting type of fish to catch. Trout tend to be very intelligent fish and are super sensitive to the surrounding environment. Trout prefer cold water around 45-65F and anything higher than 65F can cause a lot of issues for trout. Trout also prefer more foul weather with things such as overcast skies and rain. Trout do not enjoy however direct sunlight or any form of hot weather. Trout tend to reside in multiple places in the water depending on what body of water they are located in. In moving water such as rivers and streams trout like to reside in riffles and runs. While in slower moving water like lakes, trout tend to reside in the deeper parts of the water where it is the coldest. Trout typically do not tend to hunt often but they do so occasionally when the opportunity arises. Food wise trout prefer eating aquatic insects and bugs.
The best season to go fishing for trout is both in spring and in fall. However, depending on when you choose to go fishing will change the behavior of the trout. During spring, there are more natural bugs around that trout like to eat which makes trout more plentiful in the area. In the fall, trout are more aggressive and tend to take bigger risks to catch their prey and more often ambush their targets. Due to being intelligent and sensitive fish, trout are a bit harder to catch as if you are fishing sloppily, it will be noticed by the trout and might scare them away. For bait, minnows tend to work well, however, a lure can work as well but you have to be careful about what you use and how you use it. Any loud unexpected noise or sudden jolt from the lure may startle the trout.
