Actually, the trout in mountain streams will help you to master trout fishing because they need to feed whenever there is natural food available to them. This is because a good mountain trout stream produces 150 pounds of aquatic insects per acre of stream bottom. Whereas, a rich limestone spring creek can hold 2000 pounds of aquatic insects per acre of stream bottom.
Not only do mountain trout need to feed whenever food is available, they must feed in an efficient manner. They must capture the maximum amount of food with the least amount of effort. This is where the odds shift to our favor as we learn to identify and properly fish each feeding station.
