More than 25 years ago I had the pleasure of learning how to trout fish from someone I've always considered a 'trout fishing master' of sorts and certainly my fishing mentor.

But for making your fishing endeavor a success, you need to educate yourself about the different varieties of trout, their habitats, their feeding habits, anatomy, their activities during different seasons, how they spend different times of the day, where they would like to rest, how climatic conditions can affect their behavior etc. For example, if you are looking for brook trout, there is no point in spending the whole day beside a muddie ...
