Sherlock holmes 2 A trout needs two types of shelter

Sherlock holmes 2

A trout needs two types of shelter. First he or she needs a territory close to the main current, the current acts like a conveyor belt moving food organisms down the river. This territory will be sheltered from the current and could be a rock, tree branch, a shallow dish in the stream bed, an opening in a moss bed, or any thing else that breaks the current or slows it down. When a feeding shelter is close to or is itself a place to hide from an airborne or land based predator you have found a prime lie and a large trout is probably occupying it. The life of a trout is a harrowing journey through time. As a fry he is hiding in the mossy or grassy shallows, hoping that he will avoid being eaten by birds, a host of land animals or another fish, which could even be sherlock holmes 2 parents. Once he is around five inches long his predator instincts grow and the juvenile seeks deeper water and his own territory. If he finds a really good shelter/territory he may stay there for the rest of his life. More likely he will move as he grows longer, from territory to territory, until he finds a prime lie territory to call home. Or he might find a nice deep pool and take up a territory where no predator from above might see him, and move to the shallower feeding lies at night. This leaves the trout with other water dwelling predators as danger to himself. The really deep pools are where you will find the really big kings of the pools. You will only catch one of these guys if you fish at night, when they move up to feed. These are the world record type fish, and only occasionally are weather conditions right to find them cruising for food in the day light hours. On my home waters the world record brown trout was caught it weighed in at 40 lbs. I would not be surprised to hear of one significantly larger being taken in the future, especially from a tail water river like my home waters the LITTLE RED RIVER and the WHITE RIVER both in Arkansas, USA. A trout likes water with a depth of three feet or more, you can check this by seeing how close you can wade to one that is in a depth of three feet as sherlock holmes 2 to one in two feet of water. In a depth of three feet the trout feels safe from land or air predators. The day light hours between and including dawn and dusk is the time period most of us are going to fish. The middle fish are the active ones during this time period and they are the ones we will mostly catch. They will be wary of their surroundings, using all of their senses and sherlock holmes 2 above water window of vision, they will bolt for their predator shelter at the slightest hint of danger, unless they are in the safety zone of three foot or more water depth. And once spooked they will not return to active feeding until they feel safe. A rivers current determines where the feeding lanes will be. It is the conveyor belt bringing the trout his food.
