Trout feed most active in water temperatures between fifty and sixty-five degrees. Remember to look for favorable water temperatures and good oxygen. These areas are also vital to insect life which trout feed on. Fishing in water temperatures exceeding seventy degrees can be stressful for these fish. Always handle them delicately and quickly release them .
Food is obviously an important aspect to trout survival as in any living organism.
Trout need to feed often, especially in water temperatures above fifty degrees when their metabolism is at its highest. Food is needed to ensure them being healthy and strong. Trout hold or move to areas where food will funnel to them. This lane of debris and food is usually visible and trout can often be seen gently feeding on passing insects. In riffles and runs, trout usually hold near a structure which breaks the current.
