Trout area: fishing technique and equipment to get started

If we were to think about the most important innovations in fishing in recent years, certainly the trout area (or trout area, if you prefer) would have a front row seat among the techniques that have changed the concept of trout fishing in lakes.

For years, in fact, the lake trout reigned undisturbed among the public of fishermen practicing classic trout fishing in paid quarries. The latter is a technique based on natural, sometimes artificial, bait, recovery of prey and subsequent suppression of the same.

Subsequently, in the first years of this decade, thanks to the contribution of some fishermen, a new concept of trout fishing was developed, which has its origins in Japan, capable of generating a new awareness in the way of approaching this predator.

What is the Trout Area?

It is a variant of spinning in a pond, therefore a fishing of continuous casts and retrieves aimed at whetting the appetite of the queen (rainbow or brown trout). The difference compared to common spinning is in the approach to the fish: ultra-light rods, small reels, reduced monofilaments, also light baits but, above all, catch andamp; release. Yes, it's true: trout must be released. With the utmost care, without touching them and avoiding causing damage. A very different approach from what we are used to seeing in paid quarries.

The value of capture, in fact, is more important than its suppression; what matters is sportsmanship, not bringing the fish home. In Italy, after an initial initial distrust, Trout Area began to gain a foothold among hundreds of enthusiasts and nowadays there are more and more new recruits willing to practice it. It has its charm and will maintain it in the coming decades because it is an exciting, fun technique with minimal impact on the prey.

Trout area fishing equipment

To fish in Trout Area you need to purchase a specific two-piece rod, with a length between 5.6 and 6.6 inches which is equivalent to 168 and 198 centimetres. The action of these rods is usually within a range of 1 to 5 grams.

The two-piece trout area are soft, reactive, light. True engineering masterpieces in a body of less than two meters! The reels will have a minimum size, so the 1,000 or at most 2,000 models are more than enough to fish comfortably.

The landing net deserves a separate discussion: it must strictly have a silicone mesh, a material that does not cause damage to the trout. The prey must be unhooked without touching them, with special trout area unhookers. What about bait? What is used for trout area?
