The queen of the area, the rainbow trout
The rainbow trout is undoubtedly the emblematic fish of areas and reservoirs. It develops quickly, is combative and lends itself well to life in a lake. Easy to raise and to grow, it accepts relatively well the life in reservoir.
In France, we are lucky to have tanks that offer specimen fish. Of course they are not wild fishes, but some trophy fishes are worth the detour for their dress or their imposing size!
Rainbow trout respond well to absolutely every type of lure, from the bottom to the surface. It is a fish that can be moody and sulky, and can give more trouble than you think.
She is an outstanding fighter who is capable of fast rushes and spectacular jumps, a true sport fish!
Brown trout in reservoirs
Popular for river releases, the fario trout is nevertheless a very present fish in reservoirs. It acclimatizes a little more difficult to the pieces of water and is more demanding than the arc in terms of quality and temperatures of water.
It is an aggressive fish which reacts particularly well to hard lures of the minnow type in a tank. Even if it is possible to observe many of them, it is possible on a session to make absolutely none sometimes...
The brown trout fights by turning around a lot and by giving furious headbutts.
Brook trout
Like the rainbow, also native to North America, the salmon or brook trout is relatively present among French fish farmers and the areas and reservoirs do not hesitate to obtain them.
They are rather discreet fish in area and not very biting except for some peaks of activity. They react rather well to soft lures when these are allowed.
The fights are heavy and powerful, but the char don't make many big, fast rushes.
The tiger or leopard trout
Hybrids between a fario and a brook trout or a bowfin and brook trout, tiger or leopard trout are typical reservoir fish. They are easy to "create" in fish farms and generally display superb colors.
These are fish that are rarely in the majority in a water room and are mostly present for collection. The small specimens of tigerbows are known to be very biting and to bite several times during the same competition for example!
They respond well to soft lures when allowed and almost always deserve a nice souvenir photo!
