Brook trout (Latin: Salmo trutta morpha fario) is the only native Polish trout species. The other two - rainbow trout and brook trout - found their way into Polish waters artificially.

The brook trout has several nicknames - potokowiec, potok - from its name - and dotting - because of the red and black dots decorating the sides of its body. In general, he is a very beautiful fish. Anglers also value it for its prowess and cunning. Catching it requires expertise, experience and sometimes luck, but gives incredible satisfaction. It is an exciting experience that many remember for years to come.

Fishing for brook trout also has the advantage of providing an opportunity to admire charming landscapes. Trout live in streams and rivers flowing mostly through beautiful forests, clearings or meadows. Some of these rivers are so narrow that it would never occur to a layperson that a few-kilogram fish could live in them, as brookies sometimes grow to such sizes (PZW medal standards: 1.5; 2 and 3 kilograms, "WŚ": 50, 60 and 65 centimeters; Polish records - respectively - 5.526 kilograms, 1995, Marek Miłek, and 79 centimeters, 2004, Bogdan Mika). They also occur in the initial sections of large rivers flowing directly into the sea. All trout fisheries have mountain water status.

The brook trout is considered a biological form of the sea trout, but unlike it, it is a single-minded fish. It has excellent eyesight and does not use any other senses when searching for food. The trout's menu mainly includes insects, gudgeons, amphibians and smaller fish. Of course, none of the aforementioned elements of its food can go on a hook or anchor, since the dotterel is a salmonid fish and is allowed to fish only with artificial lures. In addition to the fly method, with which trout fishing is inherently associated, spinning is popular and effective. With this method, the most effective will be small spinners, surface, low-dragging crankbaits, twister-frogs and rippers.

The protective size of a brook is 30 centimeters, and the catch limit is three fish per day. The protection period in most Polish waters lasts from September 1 to December 31 (exception: in the Vistula River and its tributaries from its sources to the mouth of the San River, in the San River and its tributaries and in the Oder River and its tributaries from the state border with the Czech Republic to the mouth of the Bystrzyca River, and in the Bystrzyca River and its tributaries from September 1 to January 31). Thus, the trout season, as in the case of sea trout, begins with the new year, but we can count on the best bites in April and May.

The range of the brook trout includes all of Europe, Asia Minor and the northern fringes of Africa. In the nineteenth century, the species began to be introduced on other continents as well. The female spawns in the autumn. For protection from other fish, she buries it in the bottom.

When it comes to taste, trout is a delicious fish that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, it also has its drawbacks, as gourmet anglers always take the trout they catch. It would be a good idea to limit the daily catch limit to two fish.

Brook trout (Latin: Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill), also abbreviated as springer, is not a native Polish fish. Like the rainbow trout, it was brought to Europe from North America in the second half of the nineteenth century. Its presence in Poland is not particularly necessary, so no protective restrictions apply to it.

There are fewer of it in Polish waters than rainbow trout, so it falls prey to anglers much less often. Sometimes it crosses with brook trout, because both species live in the same places, although the brook trout is more resistant to water acidification. The brook trout also resembles it in that, like it, it is a sedentary and single-minded fish, unlike many other representatives of the salmonid family. On the other hand, it differs from him in its greater appetite, which may unfortunately displace him from some sections of rivers.

Its coloration, like other trout, is lovely. The sides of its body are dark green at the top, blue in the middle, and yellow-orange at the bottom (during mating season this part of the trunk turns bright). In turn, the entire body is dotted with different colored mottles.

Of the three species of trout living in Poland, the springer is the smallest. Its medal standards according to PZW criteria are 1; 1.5 and 2 kilograms. The Polish record was set in 2008 by. Piotr Piechocki, catching a springer weighing 2.52 kilograms. However, the "Angler's World" competition "Polish record in the length of a fish" does not include the brook trout. No records are recorded here, and there are no medal standards.

Fishing for trout, not just spring trout, is so exciting that some writers have talked about it in their works. Ernest Hemingway devoted quite a few pages to this activity. His best-known book about fishing is, of course, "The Old Man and the Sea," in which an aged angler battles a huge marlin, but passages from many other short stories and novels speak precisely about trout hunting. The characters in these works fish them with grasshoppers, among other things, but in Hemingway's time there were different rules and using this bait for trout was allowed. These works are definitely worth reading, as they have both literary and substantive angling qualities, so both book lovers and fishing enthusiasts will be satisfied with this reading.
