The Basics of Trout Identification

This time of 12 months, loads of new anglers are out on the water, so questions of fish identification are more likely to come up fairly usually. Ben Sittig, a.ok.a. Huge Fly Fisherman places his fisheries-biology diploma to good use on this traditional video. Sitting presents the fundamentals of trout ID, and even works in some precise taxonomy. Whereas his opinions about numerous trout are his alone, the science half is spot-on.

So, when you’re new to fishing or when you want a refresher course on trout identification, that is the right video for you. And when you’re super-proud of your palomino trout, don’t let Ben’s opinion get to you. Lastly, the fish artist with the unpronounceable identify is Joe Tomelleri (Tom-uh-LARE-ee). On the subject of correct fish illustrations, he’s The Man.
