Trout fishing is one of the easiest types of fishing, as you do not need a bunch of specialized equipment. You will not need a boat, expensive tackle, something to measure depth or a guide. All you need is your reel and rod, your hooks, a bobber and some earth worms or night crawlers. Hip boots would be a good idea too, since you will need to walk out into the water a ways to find your trout. Use light tackle and do not forget to use a weight. Some fisherman suggest using gang hooks and a worm. With the worm floating across the bottom, the trout are more likely to bite.
      Remember that you will need a fishing license for the area you are fishing in. It is a good idea to always follow the rules. Some areas have rules on how many fish you can catch, and what size you can catch. Get a map of the area, so you know where the streams are that the fish are biting in. It is always suggested to check the weather in the area before heading out. Fish bite in almost any kind of weather, but you do not want to be standing out in the middle of a stream during a lightening and thunder storm.
      There are three kinds of trout out there for you to catch. Brook Trout live in small streams of water, are aggressive and usually hide in the vegetation. Brown Trout are more wary of your movements. Just casting your shadow can make them go into hiding. They usually hide under the rocks, overhangs and downed trees. You will find them in the deeper pools. They thrive on insects and mayflies. Rainbow Trout abound in fast, big water areas, like whitewater streams. They have been seen doing their tail walking on top of the water by many a fisherman.
