Trout
Streamer Season is Here
1. Go Big. A large streamer may not catch more fish than your typical size 12 woolly bugger, but your average size will be larger.
2. Play with colors. Typically olive or natural colors work better in clear water. Black, brown, or bright colors work better in stained water. Stocked fish like yellow and white, while wild fish like more naturally colored flies.
Underwater World of Trout
Trout University is excited about the coming introduction of underwater trout videos by the famous photographer Wendell (Ozzie) Ozefovich. His passion for trout and their world began at age six, when a brook trout fell prey to a garden worm. That passion continues unabated for the salmon and trout he now pursues with fly rod and camera.Years ago Ozzie combined his love of trout with a lifelong interest in movie making resulting in his series of underwater videos that explore how trout feed, spawn and behave in the wild.
Winter Fly Fishing in the Smokies
It is the time of the year when most anglers are not interested in fly fishing and they have put away their fly rods in favor of a rifle or to watch football. However, it may surprise you to know, that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park still presents great fly fishing opportunities for trout. At this time of the year, the GSMNP may still have some beautiful colors in the lower elevations and the leaf looker traffic is all but gone. In addition, it is still a good time to see the deer, elk and bears that abide in the park.
Accurate Trout measurements
I went into the archives at ASKABOUTFLYFISHING.COM to hear a live interview with Trapper Badovinac and they were discussing fly fishing on the Missouri River in Montana, which by the way is the longest river in USA.
Preseason Brown Trout
The brown trout are much like salmon in that they will travel upstream long distances to spawn. It is believed that many of these browns will actually return to the same location where they were born and where they spawned in previous years. For this exodus, the trout need to be in excellent shape as they begin the spawning process which consumes a great deal of energy. They need to be in prime condition!
Where do Trout Feed
When fly fishing and there is no hatch occuring, look for the trout to be in the slower water. Trout do not always feed in the faster moving water, as they very often feed in the slow to moderately flowing water near the bottom. In very cold water, the trout will almost always be found feeding in the slower moving water in the lower or bottom sections of the stream. This helps them conserve their energy ensuring that they do not expend more energy than the energy derived from the food.

How do Trout See
We at Trout University have added a new class to explain how refraction affects the trout's ability to see. Also, how the fishermen's movements and colors are perceived by the trout. Just why do these movements and colors spook the trout so fast?
Can Trout See Colors?
Can trout see various colors and is their color vision like the humans color vision? Does trout have the ability to distinguish shades of color? How does trout see fluorescent colors? How does various lighting conditions or depth of water affect their ability to see color? For the answers to these questions and more take the free on line Class 406 Color Vision in Trout Eyes at Trout University.
