trout fishing

Trout fishing is a favorite among freshwater anglers. Trout are known to put up a good fight
when caught and are great for eating. Both spin fisherman and fly fisherman can enjoy the
experience and some anglers do both. With a variety of different ways to fish for trout and
different tout species, it's no wonder trout anglers enjoy fishing so much.

Trout are usually found in cool, clear streams and lakes, and are distributed naturally
throughout North America, northern Asia and Europe. Several species of trout were introduced
to Australia and New Zealand by amateur fishing enthusiasts in the 19th century, contributing
to the displacement of native freshwater fish to some extent.

Trout have fins entirely without spines, and all of them have a small adipose (fatty) fin along
the back, near the tail. There are many species, and even more populations that are isolated
from each other and morphologically different. However, many of these distinct populations
show no significant genetic differences, and therefore what may appear to be a large number
of species is considered a much smaller number of distinct species by most ichthyologists.
