Most anglers consider trout as one of their favorite 'fishing friends' while fishing. This artful species is found everywhere. Different varieties of trout choose different types of places as their native habitat.

The territory from Labrador westward to the Saskatchewan is known as the native habitat of brook trout. Rainbow trout are conspicuous in the Pacific slope from Alaska to California.

Brown trout are abundantly seen in the waters of every American state except Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Arkansas and Florida. Sometimes it has been spotted in the waters of some of these states, but there is no official verification of these citings, according to conservation officials. Brown trout also abound in some parts of Canada.

You need to consider some factors in order to successfully catch trout fish.

1. Do not grease the leader for it won't sink deep enough to give trouble, when pulling the lure and line from the water. However, if you allow it to float, the shadow cast by it, on the bottom of the stream, may scare away the trout.

2. Trouts can usually be secured through the use of dry fly. You should fish in both the current as well as in the pools for trout. Sometimes, it will be difficult for the angler to keep the fly from dragging or sinking because of the force of the current. The angler will have to depend on his dexterity for this.

3. It is not wise to fish for trout directly upstream as the leader, line, and flies will float directly over the fish. You should make the cast from one side of the stream. This will ensure that only the fly will float over the fish.

4. Remember that the first cast should be the best cast. Usually the first lure presented, is struck by a feeding trout if it floats over his private territory. You should never forget to fish in the lower end of the pool first, even if the trout are coming up in the upper or middle end.

5. On account of being moody or selective, trout may try the patience of any angler. Therefore, a fly or if necessary, a spent-wing fly or a fan wing, may do the trick without much hassle.

Indeed, you can enjoy a lot and have fun while fishing for trout. Following the tips above will definitely ensure a happy catch.
