If you want to fish for Brook Trout it’s best to find cold flowing water, the fast moving stream or creek allows the trout to show up motionless within the water due to highly oxygenated water passing over their gills. This colder water at ideally 57-60 degrees Fahrenheit makes brook trout fishing exhilarating as the ‘brookie’ will move more slowly and thus instead find the safety of rocks and reeds, making catching these elusive fish an excellent challenge.
Fishing in a very foreign country can be a tad bit difficult. How much if your budget be? Where will your house is? What travel documents do I need? Aside from these questions, there is also to think about many other factors: just when was the optimum time to see Scotland for trout fishing? Will you go fishing highland or lowland, and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera?
I got tired of skiing and my good friend who had taken us in their boat had a classic spin casting fishing rod and reel. Attached for the end in the line was the largest, ugliest ol’ yellow lure I had experienced. Didn’t care… I had him pull-up towards the mouth with the river and I cast the lure upstream and started reeling it in and SLAM. It almost jerked the rod out of my hand. What a great fight. Finally there were this nice 18+ brown trout against the boat and I called for the internet.
First, a lengthier rod offers you more “feel” in the event the current is specially swift. In order to keep your trout bait or lure in the trout’s “strike zone” more importance should be added to your line (for example split shot sinkers typically) and a longer rod can make it easier to “feel” your bait or lure using the added weight in your line. Being able to “feel” your bait or lure is extremely important when fishing rivers in the spring.
Trout are now living in cold water, this will provide you with a better thought of where you should go fishing for them. The highlands, being colder, are wonderful spots to fish for trout. The waters of Argyll, a spot in western Scotland, will also be excellent fishing spots. You can also take a look at Aberdeenshire in the northeast, where you can the river Don. There will also be the rivers Tweed and Clyde, which can be some of Scotland’s main rivers, too. Near these rivers, if you have been trot lochs which have large quantities of trout.
