Part two of Montana Trout Brown Trout For many an angler, the elusive Brown Trout is hard to catch. The Brown Trout is a lot more wary than other species. Its shy habits help to ensure longevity in streams where other trout have been fished out. Brown Trout seek areas with plenty of cover. Under log jams, cuts in the bank, overhanging tree cover or rock outcroppings are their favorite hang-outs. As they grow larger, Brown Trout become even more wary. They will often feed at night when darkness offers protection. Although a challenge to capture, the Brown Trout's succulent flavor is a reward for patience. Brown Trout normally feed on small minnows, crustaceans, worms and insects. Netting a Brown Trout requires skill, tenacity and a little bit of luck.

"I'm going seriously out on a limb by naming the top 10 trout rivers in the country. I will doubtless leave out some rivers that are worthy of mention. But when it comes to a list like this, you have to eventually pick the streams, and I'll apologize in advance if I don't put you're favorite river down. I'm sure these aren't actually the ten very best streams around-there are dozens of backcountry Alaskan streams and private trout waters that are probably better than any of these. But these are all rivers that are easily accessible and provide awesome trout fishing. These are all well known streams, and they'll be crowded from time to time. Still, they're all long rivers and there is room to spread out. It's no coincidence that Montana is well represented in the list;it is full of long, beautiful trout rivers. 1.

Trout live in cool, shaded waters. Lake trout, however, are rare and can be a bit elusive. Snagging a lake trout is quite an accomplishment and requires more than a bit of skill. There are a few items to consider before setting out in search of a lake trout. Experts seems to agree about some of the following fishing tips for catching a lake trout. First, keep your rod and reel and fishing line light, troll slowly, find the bottom and take into account weather and water depth. They can seem to be line-shy. That is, they actually avoid coming near heavy fishing line in the water. If you are using a heavy line, then change it to a lighter, less obvious line. The heavy line also has to work harder to get to the bottom where the trout usually hang out. In addition, if you are using a heavy rod, you might not feel a nudge on the line or a tug at the lure and may miss a splendid opportunity to reel in a big fat trout as a result. This is probably the most important of the fishing tip...
