The Basics of Trout Identification

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

So, if you happen to’re new to fishing or if you happen to want a refresher course on trout identification, that is the right video for you. And if you happen to’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). In the case of correct fish illustrations, he’s The Man.
