Brook Trout Fishing

Many people love to fish for Trout, and Brook Trout is extremely popular among the fishing community. Here are some great tips when fishing for Brook Trout.

Brook Trout can be found in the cooler waters about 55 degrees or colder. They are migratory so they are constantly swimming up and down the stream to find the best place to reproduce. Since these trout like the cooler waters use common sense and the seasonal changes to dictate where to find them. For instance, in the summer months, stay away from the warmer waters and travel to lower parts of the stream where the waters are cooler. In the early spring where some parts of the stream are extremely cold move upstream where the water tends to be a bit warmer but still in their comfortable temperature range.

Like Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout tend to bite at smaller spinners. Brook Trout also bite at lots of natural bait such as worms, and insects such as grasshoppers and others. These types of bait will tend to have the best results.

If you catch a Brook Trout, be careful on how you handle them. There skin has a protective layer of slime. If you wipe off this slime and throw them back into the water they may be more prone to infections.
