Week 9 : Trout - Species #511/21/2021 Yesterday I did my last species for my catch, clean, and cook. I successfully completed 4 out of 5. Sadly yesterday I did not catch a trout like I had planned. It sucks not being able to catch a fish but catching a trout was going to be my most difficult anyways. I was in boone for the weekend and trout live in the mountains in small streams and rivers. My dad and I stayed in a cabin there. Right outside of the cabin was a river. When catching a trout you want to get in the water. You don’t really catch trout from the bank. So since the water is cold you have to wear waiters which is what I did. They are basically waterproof bibs with built in boots. Some waiters have special bottoms on the boots so you can’t slip on the rocks that are in the river. I used a small fly from the brand Joe’s flies. Flies are the most used for trout. You can also use a small rooster tail. Trout are meant to be caught with very small and low profile baits, so flies and rooster tails are the best things you can use. I used a spinning reel but a lot of people use a fly rod and fly fish. Fly fishing is much more difficult and pretty hard to master, but also very cool to watch and fish that way. I fished for a while but had no luck. I still got some videos of me casting and moving around in the water so at least I have something to put in my final video. Also I had planned on 6 fish, but with the final presentation I will need some time to do that and plan it out. So next week I will put in clips of me fishing and that’s about all. I will probably start looking into the final presentation and fixing some of my older videos.
