Trout fishing in Lithuania
Trout fishing in Lithuania is one of my favorite ways of fishing. I started catching trout in 2015. Many interesting rivers and streams have been tested throughout. More than one bait was cut and more than one trout was caught.
Trout - (Latin Salmo trutta fario, English Brown Trout, German Bachforelle) is a salmon fish belonging to the Salmonidae family.
The body is spindly. The back is lilac with dark stripes. The sides are greenish-yellow, dotted with spots of various colors. The belly is gray. The scales are small. Often, the color range of a trout depends on the conditions of the river in which it lives. Brown trout tend to be lighter in clear, clear waters and darker in darker waters.
The size of the trout depends on the river where it lives. If the river is fast, deep and the feeding base is abundant, the trout can grow up to 90 centimeters in length (approximately 5-6 kilograms). It takes several years to reach such an impressive size (speckled trout grows approximately 10-15 centimeters per year and the growth process slows down over time).
Speckled trout is a valuable fish of the Salmonidae family. In small, clean cold water streams, it is one of the dominant fish species and forms the nucleus of the community. In Lithuania, brown trout can be found in more than 180 rivers and streams. The largest trout populations are found in: Nemunas (20 tributaries), Neris (17), Žeimenos (11), Merkis (26), Minijos (12), Veiviržo (11), Dubysos (9), Ventos (6), Bartuvos (5). and Verkne (3) pools.
It is a territorial, sedentary freshwater fish. It lives in clean, flowing, oxygen-rich rivers, whose water is always cold. The most suitable water temperature for trout is up to 16 C°.
The main food is insects and their larvae. It feeds on insects, amphibians, grasshoppers, dragonflies, flies and beetles that have fallen from trees or are flying near water. To catch prey, the fish jumps out of the water and swallows the victim. In the spring, they approach the shore and feed on worms and other amphibians washed out of the soil by the rain. Juveniles prefer small aquatic organisms or zooplankton.
