In Canada, this fish is considered coveted and quite a labor for local fishermen. Catching a large trout is not easy. But the sensation of resistance that the fish provides and the joy of successful catching makes up for it.
Rainbow trout are lake and river trout. The main fishing season is fall and spring. But note that in April the spawning season begins, and during this period the catching of this fish is prohibited.
As gear, fishermen advise using a float rod, inertial reel and float with a long-range release. In the process of fishing requires constant movement on the reservoir, since the trout is extremely accurate and will go far from every hook.
Bait is quite common - these are special bags with caviar, artificial and natural worms, plastic multicolored balls. A fly, trout paste and other baits will also fit.
Lake trout
This fish in Canada has a special name of leuker. The main habitat is deep, cool lakes. Therefore, it is better to go to the central and northern parts of the country to catch this fish. The size record of this fish is 29 kilograms. Therefore, lake trout is an important fishing trophy.
The most popular place to fish for lake trout is Lake Simcoe, literally 1 hour from Toronto. You can come here in summer and winter, as the fish are well caught at any time of the year. Most often fishermen manage to catch specimens weighing up to 2-3 kilograms. But there are also 4-kilogram specimens.
One of the secrets of successful fishing is the presence of a boat. It is almost impossible to catch trout from the shore. As bait, a horizontal shiner and a vibrotail will be suitable. Also perfectly show themselves imitators of the food base of this fish - it is smelt and freshwater herring.
Perch
In Canada, it is called Bass. The fish is widespread in the country, so thousands of fishermen go out to catch it every day. There are no particularly large specimens here, and usually the bass reaches 3-4.5 kilograms maximum.
