Fishing guide

Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) is a lake and stream species of the salmon family that usually migrates from lakes into rivers to spawn and can thrive in warmer waters than most trout. This prized gamefish is usually olive-brown in color with tan yellow sides and brown, black and red-orange spots. It is a medium-sized fish, growing to 20 kg (44 lb) or more and a length of about 100 cm (39 in), although usually a mature weight of 1-5 kg (2-10 lb) or less is common. Brown Trout feed predominantly on small fish.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Brown Trout would be to use Shiners on a size #4/0 hook.

If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Narrow Spoons.

The most successful lure is Yellow/Black X-Series Barbless Spinner 14 g, #3/0.
