Trout Fishing

There are a huge variety of Trout that people enjoy fishing. There are dozens of species and sub species and some are actually salmon, but called trout. Trout are cold water fish and eat insects, so that makes them a very popular game fish for Fly Fishing. The most common varieties are:

• Rainbow Trout (excellent fly fishing action!)
• Brown Trout (mostly freshwater, avg size about 2 lbs)
• Brook Trout (Biggest one – 14.5 lbs, avg size up to 7 lbs)
• Lake Trout (can grow to be a BIG Trout – record 102 lbs!)
• Cutthroat Trout (known by the bright red throat area)
• Steelhead Trout (sea run trout, returning to freshwater for spawning)
• Dozens of sub-species, because the trout enjoy each other’s company

Fly fishing for Trout is hugely popluar, but certainly not the only way to catch a trout! Lures and live bait can also be effective. The Trout Fishing Guides will be happy to assist you in in planning a Trout Fishing Trip! During your fishing trip, the fishing guide will be happy to teach the best Trout Fishing techniques that have been productive locally. But just because they work in one river doesn’t mean they will work everywhere. Trout Fishing can be challenging and it’s a good idea to have a wide variety of flies – depending on what species of trout, time of year, color and clarity of the water, water temprature, etc…

That’s another reason it’s a good idea to use a pro Trout Fishing Guide when you go to a new area to fish. They know the most productive locations and paterns of the local fish. It has always been my expreience that everybody has a lot more fun fishing when they are “catching” and not just fishing. That’s the benefit of hiring the Trout Fishing Guide – your chances of enjoying a day out fishing dramatically increase!

Many of the Trout Fishing Guides listed provide a wilderness pack trip up into the mountains for Trout Fishing in a pristine mountain setting. This kind of adventure is perfect for families that need some real “family bonding” away from the hectic schedules and electronic distractions. Imagine riding a horse into the mountains with your family to a tent camp then, spending a few days enjoying the scenery and eating delicious trout you caught yourself. This is a true fishing trip – and the memories would be treasured for generations.
